Rodney Strong Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2007, California, USA

From the superb 2007 California vintage, this young Cabernet Sauvignon has complex aromatics that reveals dark plums, blackberry, currents, tobacco leaf, mint and smoke. It is medium to full body, the palate has loads of energy and length with bold fruit flavours and firm tannins. The finish is long, with persistent tannins, cedar and rich fruit that lingers. I had originally purchased six bottles last December, after having given a few away, this was my remaining bottle and is unfortunately no longer available in our jurisdiction.  I would love to revisit this wine in 3-4 years as all the elements are here for this Cabernet to age beautifully. Great wine, love the aromatics.    


This wine was purchased December 11, 2010 LCBO New Release at $ 27.95
