Tom Gable, this blog's favorite wine guru shares another one of his popular under-the-radar vintage discoveries. Today, he takes us to a California Costco warehouse of all places for an on-sale ($30) Napa 2018 Sterling Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Platinium.
Devil in the details: darkest purple (Port-like), viscous (14.9 alc.); ripe grape, prune, herbaceous, berries, mint and oak nose (19 months in oak); low-mid acids; medium-full tannins; long, deep, semi-hot chewy finish. Has a 16.5 UC Davis scale. Outstanding with grilled steaks. For more of Tom Gable's wine expertise and value discoveries:
