A Napa Pioneer, Bottled for Every Day
Sterling Vineyards was founded in 1964 by English businessman Peter Newton, when Napa had only 27 bonded wineries, and became a pioneer of Bordeaux-inspired varietal wines in California — its whitewashed, Mykonos-inspired hilltop winery above Calistoga, reached by aerial tram, is still a valley landmark. The Vintner's Collection is the house's value tier: fruit drawn from throughout California rather than the estate's Napa vineyards, made in the bright, immediately drinkable style the grape does best. Chill a bottle from our white wine range — it sits alongside the wider wine shelves — or browse the producer on the Sterling Vineyards vendor page.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Vivid passion fruit, pink grapefruit and citrus with fresh-cut grass (brand notes). Palate: Juicy lemon citrus and stone fruit with tropical weight, balanced acidity running through it. Finish: Mouth-watering and lengthy, fruit carrying off cleanly.
How to Enjoy
Serve cold, straight from the fridge. The brand's own pairings are grilled shrimp, goat cheese and fresh salads — anything green, briny or citrus-led meets this wine on its own terms.
