TASTING NOTE: The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve (Alexander Valley) offers striking aromatic presence to play off its intense dark red and purplish fruit. Smoke, tobacco, lavender, licorice and crème de cassis add mid-palate sweetness and unctuosity. This is a gorgeous wine from Rodney Strong, not to mention a terrific value. Drinking window: 2018-2028. Score - 92 (Antonio Galloni, vinous.com, Jan. 2017) |
