A Season Defined by Balance
The 2025 growing season in Calistoga brought ideal conditions for another exceptional year at Sterling Vineyards. Mild temperatures and consistent sunshine allowed fruit to ripen slowly and evenly, while cool evenings helped preserve bright acidity and fresh aromatics. The result was beautifully balanced fruit across our estate vineyards.

Bringing in the Vintage
As the final grapes arrived at the winery, the energy of harvest filled the air—presses running, tanks bubbling, and the scent of fermenting fruit signaling the promise of another memorable vintage. Early tastings already reveal wines with depth, vibrancy, and structure, marking 2025 as a standout year for both reds and whites.
“Wines from our 2025 vintage are showing deep, vibrant color and excellent bright flavors, with a unique freshness that is sure to stand out. We have brought all of the grapes into the winery, and are excited to finish fermentation and begin barrel aging.” — Lauren Kopit, Winemaker
