- robr - 09-10-2005 I just bought a bottle of 2003 Sterling for $12. Any opinions on this one? Just another one produced to sell by the hundreds of thousands in grocery stores, or a cut above (or below)? - Innkeeper - 09-10-2005 See my answer on the Novice thread. - wondersofwine - 09-12-2005 I don't know much about the 2003 vintage in California but I like most Cal cabs with a bit of age. Let us know what you think of it. - robr - 09-25-2005 Popped it last night. It's very similar to the Mondavi from the same year, but a bit more, more tannins, a lttle more depth, but not much. I really liked it. A solid, good cab, but not unusual or special. Still, a good juice for the price. - winoweenie - 09-25-2005 Generally Napa cabs need at least 3-5 from vintage date to show their best . When the lable reads "California" it is probabl;y ready on release. WW |
