The Sterling Iridium is only produced in the finest vintages and this wine had a release price of $275/bottle!
The winery recently reduced their price to $175/bottle and you can grab it here for $88/bottle.
The fruit comes from the famed Peterson Vineyard on Diamond Mountain, Sleeping Lady Vineyard in Yountville, and the famed Hewitt Vineyard in Rutherford. The thought is to blend the best fruit from the top iconic vineyards in Napa.
Sterling Vineyards is only accessible by its aerial tram, which is pretty cool. This experience of floating above the vineyards are what have made this a can’t miss winery in the Napa Valley.
97 James Suckling
Dark cherries, black plums, mulberries, granite, olives, graphite and lead pencil. Full-bodied with chewy and very structured, velvety tannins that melt together on the center palate. A very complete wine that maintains a great sense of poise and finesse, while packing a real punch of concentration. Very long on the finish. Drink in 2025.
Iridium is one of the rarest elements on earth. A very constrained and expensive resource, Iridium’s uniqueness makes it incredibly valuable. Like the element, the Sterling Vineyards Iridium Cabernet Sauvignon is treasured. Made in only the very best vintages with the finest and most intense expression of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, Iridium is the pinnacle of winemaking perfection.
