Rodney Strong Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley Alden Vineyards 2010
Editorial Review by Gregory Dal Piaz:
Very nice on the nose with a wonderful bouquet of earth, vanilla, herb, black currant and tomato leaf aromas. This smells like Cabernet should smell. This is very nicely put together with plenty of power but that power is delivered in a rather linear, structured style that brings together black plum, black cherry and black currant fruit over a base of small but firm tannins. The oak is really very well integrated, adding complexity without becoming obvious. This finishes with good length and that nice spicy underlay with hints of vanilla and licorice spicing things up a bit. This is awfully good for the money. 90pts
