Updates on the Valley Fire
In the past weeks, concerned customers have frequently asked about the Valley Fire and how we here at Sterling have fared. Thankfully, Sterling was not in the path of the fire, our air quality has been good, and harvest has not been significantly affected. Unfortunately, there have been several employees and their families that have been impacted. We are doing everything we can to assist them, from emergency shelter to donating funds and water to the Red Cross. The wine leadership team of Diageo Chateau and Estate Wines has been able to find temporary housing for those in need. Happily, all Diageo employees and their families have been reported safe.
In response to the emergency, Diageo Chateau and Estate Wines, in coordination with state emergency management officials and our partners at The Bridge Foundation, dispatched bottled waters for the residents and First Responders in the impacted areas. Given the significant amount of damage and displacement the fires have caused, Diageo has also donated $20,000 from the Diageo Spirit of Americas fund to further support the relief efforts.
Harvest 2015 Update from Winemaker Mari Coyle!
Harvest continues at Sterling Vineyards! We have received over 2,000 tons of grapes to date. Many of our white wines and our first Cabernet and Merlot lots have completed primary fermentation. Last week we began our harvest at Diamond Mountain. We are now receiving fruit from Diamond Mountain and Petersen ranch - two of our heritage vineyard sites. These vineyards are incredibly steep and complex. The flavors show pure blueberry and cassis fruit. Our job is to capture these flavors into the bottle.

2013 Cellar Club Riesling
Our 2013 Cellar Club Riesling displays a lean, racy style similar to Alsatian Rieslings. A bouquet of fragrant flowers opens the nose and is followed by Gala apples, lemon zest, a touch of coriander and a tantalizing minerality representative of the cool climate. The bright flavors continue in the mouth with a flinty minerality that rides waves of Granny Smith apple and crisp pear through the light-bodied palate. A pop of grapefruit and nuances of charcoal linger on the finish. The lighter body and fresh snap of this zesty Riesling makes it a great apéritif or companion to spicy cuisines.
