Very good with a little time to breath. Nice cherry and cassis flavors and floral bouquet. A little bit of grape ( imagine that!). Great legs and a smooth finish. I have had Sterling for many years..a great go to drinkable red. Reasonable price of $17, enjoyed with chicken carbonara and salad. Cheers!

Very smooth with mild acidity, if at all. Fruity notes of cranberry, blackberry and a finish of what I remember figs or fruitcake to taste like. Juicy with subtle tannins. Enjoyed drinking this bottle and probably would’ve had a third glass if one were available. (🎥 Ocean’s 11)

Excellent, smooth. So rich and flavorful. Went so well with beef tenderloin and potatoes.

Good. Paired well with ribeye in brandy & cream sauce. A little cherry in the taste.
