Nose
The Sterling Vineyards Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc is a brilliant, light gold color in the glass and offers bright aromas of stone fruit, pear, fresh grapefruit and lemon citrus.
Palate
The inviting nose leads to a quenching palate with flavors of citrus and white peach. There is good tension in the wine balanced between a core of acidity and the creamy roundness on the palate, leading to a persistent and flavorful finish. This is a classic and excellent expression of Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc.
Winemaking
The Sauvignon Blanc fruit was harvested in the cool morning hours and sent directly to press at the winery. The grapes were fermented in 85 percent stainless-steel tanks to retain the bright fruit character and fresh acidity. The remaining 15 percent of the blend was barrel fermented in neutral French oak to impart weight and texture to the overall mouthfeel.
