Sonoma County, California, United StatesRodney Strong planted his first cabernet sauvignon over 50 years ago at Alexander's Crown, on a small hill in Jimtown. Today, the vineyard mix stretches from Jimtown to Geyserville and north to Cloverdale. The soils are a mix of well-drained alluvial, volcanic, and uplifted shale / sandstone soils that are seemingly very receptive to cabernet roots. It's classic modern Sonoma cabernet with juicy, fresh black fruit with a floral undercurrent, perfectly measured oak, and soft, slippery, dense tannins. A well-balanced affair, you can go the grilled steak or vegetable route or have it with a favourite Bolognese recipe. Stock up.Tasted: 03 March 2022Tasted by: Prices:

Sonoma County, California, United States2018 brings a new look to this well-established label, which we've been reviewing since 1997. Rodney Strong planted his first cabernet vineyard in 1971 in Sonoma's Alexander Valley, and today this wine comes from three vineyards across the County. This shows ripe, plummy fruit with graphite and a moderate dusting of oak spices. It's direct and accessible, with soft tannins that make this ready to drink now. It's not a shy wine at 14.5%, but it's still fresh and balanced.Tasted: 11 April 2021Tasted by: Prices:
