Rodney Strong, Knights Valley (Sonoma County, California) Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Mar 27, 2018

By Robert Whitley

Rodney Strong built its reputation in its early years on the chardonnay grape and it still excels in that arena.  The Cabernet Sauvignon from Rodney Strong is another story.  It gets better every year and this 2015 Knights Valley expression of Rodney Strong Cabernet is a beautiful example.  With exquisite balance between richness and tension, this is a Cab that shows supple tannins and can be drunk now, but it also has the structure and depth to improve in the cellar over the next ten years.  It has a red-fruit profile with a gentle touch of wood spice.  A platinum award-winner at the 2018 San Diego International Wine & Spirits Challenge.
