The Rodney Strong Cabernet Sauvignon 2013 is a terrific wine to enjoy and serve at almost any dinner party. This full-bodied red wine has all of the lush structure that you’d expect from a Cabernet Sauvignon. Mature tannins provide a layered mouthfeel, and the flavor profile is fruity and enjoyable. Expect flavors of blackberry, dark plum, and dark chocolate, with notes of dried herbs and black pepper. A hint of minerality is a reminder of the Alexander Valley, where this wine was produced. Enjoy this California wine with braised short ribs, rich meat lasagna, or even a masterpiece of a cheeseburger.
