The bottle is a Sterling Reserve and I know for certain that it was impeccably stored. Not wanting to give away a bottle of bad wine, I opened one this past weekend. All I have to say is it was outstanding. I guess I'm donating 5 bottles now instead of 6.
Thanks for the comments.
Are you Bordeauxphiles listening? See? California Cabernets _are_ capable of aging gracefully! :^)

Hey, I drank the 1981 Sterling Cabernet last July (2003). It was quite nice. Purple with tinge of brown; slightly cloudy. Nose of cabernet and wood. Soft, silky in the mouth; medium-bodied; little tannin remains; low acidity. Easily recognizable as an aged cabernet. I liked it.>Can someone help me out with a review or tasting notes on this wine?
