Rodney Strong Vineyards
Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon
Sonoma County, California, USA
Blind tasted this… said it was a California Cabernet (not Napa), 2017.
I guess you could say I had a… STRONG prediction.

A cab, like so many others. Good, but not enough distinctive character.

A deep, saturated color leads to lifted aromas of blackberry, cocoa and herby black-currant, which is followed by a rich, layered mouthfeel, loaded with juicy black cherry, cedar, and crème de cassis. This wine is also elegantly structured with fresh acidity and ripe, mature tannins. Enjoy this vibrant Cabernet Sauvignon now and over the next several years.

Tremendous! Great scent, awesome flavors, gets better as it goes. Simply puts a smile on my face. Even better when considering the price point here locally. Automatically becomes a go to red wine as well as reference to new red wine drinkers.

Very fruit forward. Nice black cherry and tobacco notes. Hints of olive

Apparently Rodney Strong is not strong enough for my taste. It's... ok. I had high hopes, considering I usually don't spend $14 on a bottle of wine, but I was in a celebratory mood. It lacks that aroma that fills your mouth and nose when you take a sip. In a way it's flat like that. It isn't bad either, but there are better options given the price point. It was... meh.
