Sterling Vineyards Merlot Vintner's Collection 2001

Central Coast, California, United StatesThe Sterling-owned 1,300-acre Paris Valley Ranch Vineyard lies just off Monterey Bay in the San Lucas appellation of southern Monterey and is home to most of the Vintner's Collection "Central Coast" fruit. It's a cool site which allows for extended hang time and increased fruit flavours. Look for black cherry, mocha plum jam flavours with a savoury streak of cedar bark. The finish is smooth with light tannins. Solid and affordable.Tasted: 24 December 2003Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
