Rodney Strong Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 2001
Sonoma County, California, United StatesTight peppery, black olive, smoky, tobacco nose with coffee grains and coriander aromas and a whiff of cassis in the background. Dry, firm warm palate with astringent tannins. Similar spicy, cassis, peppery, smoky, cranberry, tobacco, black olive flavours with some coffee and cherry menthol on the finish. A bit rustic and lean overall with some green notes. Give this vintage a few more years in the bottle to soften.Tasted: 26 August 2006Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $65.99 | 750ml | Specialty |
