Rodney Strong’s Alexander’s Crown Vineyard Cabernet is a very savory wine with blackberry fruitiness – but the blackberries are somewhat muted. The more I tasted, the more I wished for a bit more generosity of fruit, a roundness of flavor, to balance the savory qualities. In sum, a lighter wine, one with smooth tannins in the finish.
