Description
Rodney Strong always produces one of the best Sonoma Cabernets under $30. It’s loaded with juicy, ripe fruit but what we love about it are the abundant savoury notes. You usually have to go up in price to find this style of Cabernet from California. This is a fantastic wine to pair with a medium-rare ribeye.
“It’s an expressive red that speaks of violets, blueberry, soy sauce, and underbrush on both the nose and palate while further proving its worthiness with alert acidity, a stream of dark chocolate, and lush notes of coffee.”
-Tasting Panel
The 2018 Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon is rich in dark cherry, plum and baking spices. The delicious fruit is accompanied by black pepper notes, crushed violet and cassis. The palate has medium tannins, lingering spicy oak flavours with a velvety lush finish.
