Knotty Vines Cabernet Sauvignon 2017
California, United StatesWhen Rodney Strong first arrived in Sonoma in the 1960s, he bought some benchland acreage on Westside Road just behind the winery that included 15 acres of old, gnarled Zinfandel vines planted in 1904. The Gnarly Vine brand's success has inspired the Rodney Strong team to expand the selection, and this cabernet is one of the chosen grapes in the lineup. Like the zin, the cabernet is made in a softer, approachable style with a mix of mocha, black cherry, and soft tannins. The good news is the earthy, dark fruit keeps it focused through the smooth finish. Ready to drink now, and best with meat-based dishes, including pizzas. Good value.Tasted: 22 February 2021Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $21.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
