Sterling Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Iridium 2015
Cabernet Blends | US
$99.95 $225.00 - 750mL
You can buy this from other retailers if you want to pay $225-$338 per bottle, or you can take advantage of this CRAZY deal while we have it. When this bottle was unveiled, we thought it was from King Tut’s tomb or an alien communication device or something. An un-arguably statement-making package, right? And the wine...is...SEXY, too. Polished, opulent, finesse-filled and deeply concentrated, but with an undercurrent of old-school charm with its flinty minerality and deft balance. It is selected by winemaker Harry Hansen from the very best barrels in the cellar, and named after one of the rarest elements on Earth -- Iridium.
In 2011, just before harvest, Harry joined Sterling Vineyards. “It’s a great privilege to make wine here,” he says. “At Sterling we enjoy unsurpassed vineyard resources, from Diamond Mountain to Rutherford, and our recently renovated, state-of-the-art cellar is the perfect place to blend grapes from these stellar terroirs into wines of intense varietal expression.”
We can’t argue. This is IMPRESSIVE in every way, but how about our PRICE??! We have just a handful of these gorgeous bottles...please jump on it quick if you need this in your cellar!!

James Suckling
Dark cherries, black plums, mulberries, granite, olives, graphite and lead pencil. Full-bodied with chewy and very structured, velvety tannins that melt together on the center palate. A very complete wine that maintains a great sense of poise and finesse, while packing a real punch of concentration. Very long on the finish. Drink in 2025.
