1999 Sterling Three Palms Vineyard[California]
[Merlot]
Posted by Wine Goddess on 2004-03-18 20:54:29 [Show TN in Text Format]
Chateau/Producer:Sterling
Wine Name:Three Palms Vineyard
Country:USA
Region:Napa Valley
Wine Score:87
Notes:The picture-perfect color, combined with the bouquet of cedar oak, Merlot grapes and a hint of herbs. It's a little lighter than previous vintages, such as '96 and '97, and the tannins are still a little sharp. ..... It's fruit forward with flavors of raspberries, a little blackberry, plus black cherry and a slightly plummy, chocolatey overtone. It ends with a nice fruity finish, but because of its youth it dies a little on the aftertaste.
