Rodney Strong Vineyards
Estate Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon
Alexander Valley, Sonoma County, California, USA
Full-bodied with a deep purple color and strong green pepper notes (slightly too strong). A straightforward Cabernet that gives a full-mouth feel, which for the price point is exactly what you would want. This guy is ~$25-27 at my local NYC wine shops.

A superb bottle from Alexander Valley! A favorite region of mine. Luscious fruit, smooth wood and earth notes. Perfect!

Very nice. Smooth and dry. Slightly better than the Sterling Cab we also had during Thurs night football. Can't wait to test this against the regular Rodney Cab!

I like it but not what I have come to love from RS. Good fruit but needs a little more acidity. Still love RS though!

Nice color of dark ruby with a brick /purple rim.
Inviting nose of blackberries, cherries, licorice, oak, vanilla, earth, dust, peppercorn, leather, smoke and bell pepper.
Full bodied with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, wood, vegetables, coffee, vanilla, herbs, spices and black pepper.
Medium plus on the finish with firm tannins.
A Nice Cabernet from Alexander Valley, California. Has some vegetable notes, but otherwise, balanced and enjoyable by itself or with food, like BBQ Meats.
Shows nice complexity now, with a nice mouthfeel.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
