Rodney Strong, Alexander Valley (Sonoma County) Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Sep 21, 2015

By Rich Cook

You should expect to see this well-priced wine on restaurant lists everywhere soon.  It’s solidly proper Cabernet Sauvignon, showing blackberry, currants, soft fall spice and faint dried herb aromas and flavors, with lively food friendly acidity and a long finish that will pair well with a range of dishes. You can impress your friends by going to the middle of the wine list and selecting a wine that will outperform some of the wines costing two or three times as much.  A Platinum Award winner at the 2015 Sommelier Challenge International Wine Competition.
