2005 Sterling Diamond Mountain Ranch Cabernet 750ml
Wine Enthusiast ReviewRated 92Despite significant youthful tannins this Cab has such deep, ripe flavor that you can drink it now. The mouthfeel is astringent and hard, in the way of a young wine, but waves of cherries, blackberries and currants flatter the tastebuds, and it also softens as it warms up in the glass. A beautiful, polished drink that should develop over the next eight years.This intense, mountain-grown wine has a dark ruby color and aromas of spicy black cherry, briar, tobacco, toasty oak, bay leaf and blueberry. Concentrated black cherry, blackberry, briar and toasty oak flavors mingle with a subtle mountain minerality. This big, rich wine will mature beautifully over four to seven years. Enjoy it with roast tenderloin, grilled filet mignon and roast rack of lamb.
