One of the main gripes you hear from wine drinkers today is how wines from California’s Napa Valley are simply no longer affordable.
Doubtlessly the most famous wine region in our country, over the past 10-20 years a combination of escalating land prices, huge investments, and supply and demand have certainly made most wines from Napa out of reach for regular wine drinking.
Which makes this already stunning value even more exciting!
Founded in back in 1964, the early days of Napa’s renaissance, over the decades since Sterling Vineyards has created a sterling (pun intended!) reputation for releasing pristine, stylish wines, as well as for their iconic cable car that allows visitors to soar over the legendary Valley.
We were lucky enough to recently get our hands on Sterling’s glowing Heritage Chardonnay, sourced from several prime regions throughout the Napa Valley. If you’d like to take the time, look into average cost of Napa Chardonnay, and I guarantee you’ll come up with something well over $20.
What if we told you we’re offering this 2020 for $11.49? What if we also told you it had a remarkable 92 point rating to go along with it?
Take prime Napa Chardonnay grapes, ferment in combination of French and American oak to add that richness Napa is known for, then add the texture that comes from malolactic fermentation and you’ve got a excellent, textbook Napa Chardonnay, at truly a fraction of the cost you’d expect.
We scooped up all that we could, but it’s not going to last forever. Explore that Napa Valley with Sterling’s excellent Heritage Napa Chardonnay!
