WINE DESCRIPTION
Rodney Strong Alexander's Crown Cabernet Sauvignon is a robust, full-bodied red wine from the Alexander Valley of Sonoma County, California. A winery story begins over 55 years ago, when a celebrated American dancer named Rod Strong settled in Sonoma County to pursue a second lifelong creative passion: winemaking. Rodney Strong Vineyards was the 13th winery bonded in the newly discovered Sonoma County wine industry.
A trio of winemaking paths crossed when Rick Sayre joined the team as Winemaker in 1979, and again when the Klein Family, 4th generation California farmers, purchased the winery in 1989 and initiated a renewed commitment of modern artisan winemaking.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Rodney Strong Alexander's Crown Cabernet Sauvignon is a powerful, structured red wine with a deep garnet hue.On the nose are aromas of black cherry, cassis, currant, and a hint of oak. On the palate, this wine is full-bodied and complex, offering flavors of dark berries, tobacco, and cedar. The tannins are ripe and well-integrated, providing a balanced finish. Enjoy this Cabernet Sauvignon now or cellar for the next few years.
