'99 Sterling Reserve Pinot

[Drew]

Stopped in one of my fav wine shops this afternoon and was "forced" into tasting several wines. The '99 Sterling Reserve Pinot was a big winner. Burgundian in style. Big and complex with deep flavors of dark cherry and mature dark fruit and a big nose of violet and vanilla. This was a satisfying and balanced pinot that the rep sez would retail about $24, 13.5%alc/vol. (informal notes and I think I might have been seduced!)
