Rodney Strong Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 1.5L Magnum

Rodney Strong Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 is a powerful, rich, and well-structured California red wine produced from estate vineyards situated along the warm hillside slopes of the Alexander Valley. Aged for 24 months in French oak barrels, it displays a deep garnet-purple hue with vivid aromas of red plum, dark berries, black cherry, cassis, and subtle cocoa. On the palate, it is medium-to-full-bodied and smoothly textured, delivering layered flavors of black plum, dried fig, milk chocolate, and sweet spice underpinned by firm, chewy tannins and a lingering, savory finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs wonderfully with grilled ribeye steak, barbecued pork ribs, braised beef short ribs, filet mignon, roasted lamb, and a dark chocolate mousse.

93 Points - James Suckling

A full-bodied cabernet with plenty of currant, red-berry and chocolate aromas and flavors. Juicy and creamy textured. Flavorful finish. Sustainable. Drinkable now, but better in two or three years’ time.
