This is David Munksgard’s top selection from the Sterling family’s estate, disgorged in August 2013 after eight years on the lees in bottle. An equal blend of chardonnay (lending apple-skin crispness) and pinot noir (providing bass notes and flavor depth), this wine starts from a tight place and finishes with brisk richness. In between, the flavors have resonance, from delicate high notes of spice and fresh cream to darker tones of minerals, baked apple and caramel. The lasting impression is elegant, clean and lively. Have a bottle ready to chill when Dungeness crabs come into season. (250 cases)
