Rodney Strong Cabernet Sauvignon Estate 2014 Bottle:12 TASTE: sweetWine & Spirits 91 points From four estate vineyards on the hillsides and benchlands of Alexander Valley, this is an elegant cabernet with a lean frame. The floral scents turn toward ripe plum and dark berries, while the spicy tannins have a dark walnut skin bitterness. Rather than being weighty with extract, this has tension and motion, a counterpoint to seared duck breast or grilled portobello mushrooms.. August 2018 Ultimate Beverage Challenge 93
