Winemaker Notes

The 1999 season in the north coast was another late year. Overall the bloom time was a week earlier than normal – about the same date as the 1998 season. The growing season was moderate in temperature through spring and summer with good, dry conditions. Mildew and botrytis bunch rot did not present problems for the season or harvest. The major influence on fruit quality was heat spike periods during the final ripening phase. One such prolonged period of heat combined with extreme low humidity caused the berries to dehydrate, concentrating both sugar and acid and resulting in sweet, but not mature, grapes. In spite of this, the overall quality of the fruit was very good.

Dense, deep purple ruby. Blackcurrant and cassis flavors are followed by an extremely textural mouth coating entry.

Alcohol: 13.5% by volume

Sterling Vineyards  Winery Image

Sterling Napa Valley wines show the depth, strength and expressive quality of California’s most famous wine region. Fruit for Sterling wines is grown throughout Napa Valley, from the cool southern Carneros region next to San Pablo Bay to the rugged northernmost bench-lands and reaches near our Calistoga homeplace. Sterling has more than five decades of winemaking excellence in Napa Valley, and winemaker Harry Hansen is able to build from that experience to select the finest lots to create the most memorable expressions of the varietal for each vintage. Key to the signature Sterling style is the contribution of fruit from our home base surrounding Calistoga, where fully ripe fruit offers soft tannins, black fruit profiles and approachability, alongside the firmer tannins evident in fruit from Diamond Mountain, offering great balance in the final assemblage and cuvée.
