But by the time we got around to trying the Archstone Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2007 in December – on sale at both Pearson’s and Cleveland Park Wines for the same $10 – we heard from the folks at Pearson’s that it would be among the last wines from Archstone (which also made a reportedly excellent 2008 chardonnay). There’s little information available about this label, which is said to be an offshoot of Sterling Vineyards, a well-known high-end Napa Valley producer that introduced a line of $8 to $12 wines back in 2000 under the label Sterling Vintner’s Collection.
