Rodney Strong Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2014 1.5L Magnum

Rich and elegantly structured, this Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon reveals layers of cassis, blackberry, cedar, and dark chocolate. Refined tannins and vibrant acidity create a polished, age-worthy wine with concentrated dark fruit and a long sophisticated finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs best with grilled ribeye, braised short ribs, lamb chops, aged gouda, roasted mushrooms, and premium steak dishes.

91 Points - Jeb Dunnuck

From Sonoma County and a blend of 96% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Petit Verdot, and 1% Malbec, the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve reveals a saturated purple/ruby color as well as a beautiful bouquet of crème de cassis, plums, cedary spice, tobacco, and bay leaf. It's medium-bodied, has a pure, polished, elegant style, no hard edges, and rock-solid balance. In short, it's a terrific Cabernet Sauvignon.

90 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is medium to deep garnet-purple in color and scented of crushed blackberries, wild blueberries and warm plums with touches of underbrush, bay leaves and tobacco leaf. Medium- to full-bodied with an approachable frame of fine-grained tannins and lovely freshness, the palate reveals plenty of crunchy black fruits, finishing with great purity.

90 Points - Wine Enthusiast

Juicy black cherry and blueberry wrap around big, expansive tannins in this hearty red that is sourced from several of the producer's best sites. With a backbone of structure and oak, it's toasty in character yet robustly fruity.

90 Points - Decanter

A high-octane style with oak and intense black fruit on the nose. Shiny, posh and plush palate, with well-integrated oak and sweet ripe tannins.
