Rodney Strong Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander's Crown Single Vineyard 2018
Alexander Valley, Sonoma County, California, United StatesAlexander’s Crown Cabernet Sauvignon is grown inside the 22 mile long Alexander Valley AVA, ranging in elevation from 250 to 350 feet. The site was established in 1971 and recognized as the first vineyard in the valley to produce a single vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon. Alexander’s Crown vineyard sits on a hill just south of Jimtown. It is a cold site whose average daily temperature is 59 degrees Fahrenheit. It certainly explains its more delicate styling. In 2018, most things went right in Sonoma, producing phenolically ripe cabernets that were picked in late October. The replanting of the Crown has paid off, giving this wine new life with rich blackcurrant, violets, and blueberry with streaks of chocolate and dried herbs. The tannins are particularly attractive, dense, and sweet but not hard and dry. An opulent mountain, one that has the power and the elegance you want, it is only beginning to expand.Tasted: 12 January 2024Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $99.99 | 750ml | Special Order - Mark Anthony Wines and Spirits |
