Rodney Strong Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley 2015

From four estate vineyards on the hillsides and benchlands of Alexander Valley, this is an elegant cabernet with a lean frame. The floral scents turn toward ripe plum and dark berries, while the spicy tannins have a dark walnut-skin bitterness. Rather than being weighty with extract, this has tension and motion, a counterpoint to seared duck breast or grilled portobello mushrooms
