Sterling Vineyards Website, $24
Aaron: Cherry and strawberry nose with brush and red berries. A sweeter flavor features chocolate covered strawberries and blueberries and is absent any oak. Not a lot of earth at all, just fruit, ripe luscious fruit that makes this easy drinking and a great first wine for newbies. 90 points
Teri: Oaky nose with flavors of raspberry, cocoa, and subtle spice. Medium to full body with smooth tannins; very easy drinking. This bottle would pair well with food. Bring to a dinner party or keep on hand for an evening in. 88 points
