This is one of the finest regular bottlings of Sterling's Chardonnay that I have tasted in over two decades. The wine also sports an attractive new bottle design and label. The nose offers attractive, lingering, complex, Burgundian-like, smoky, roasted nut, and sweet fruit aromas. The wine is medium-bodied, elegant, and flavorful, with a gentle, soft texture, and fine length. It is not a blockbuster, bold, ostentatious, oaky wine, but rather, a harmonious, silky, nicely crafted Chardonnay to drink over the next year. Tel. (707) 942-3344
