Sterling Vineyards 'Iridium' Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Founded in 1964, Sterling Vineyards has long been a symbol of Napa Valley innovation and architectural elegance. The estate’s iconic hilltop winery overlooks Calistoga and draws fruit from its most prized vineyards across the valley. ‘Iridium’ represents the pinnacle of Sterling’s craft — a micro-cuvée of exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon that captures the intensity, structure, and refinement for which the house is renowned.

Grape Varietals: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon

Wine Region: Napa Valley, California

Tasting Notes: Opaque garnet in color with layered aromas of blackberry, cassis, violet, and dark chocolate. The palate is dense and structured, unfolding with flavors of black plum, espresso, graphite, and sweet tobacco framed by fine-grained tannins. Rich yet impeccably balanced, the finish lingers with notes of cocoa, cedar, and warm spice.

Food Pairing: Perfect with dry-aged ribeye, beef Wellington, or grilled portobello mushrooms with truffle jus.
