Norm's Tasting Notes: 2015 Rodney Strong Cabernet Sauvignon

The North Georgia Wine Advisor

2015 Rodney Strong Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

#36-19

I don't recall ever having had a bad bottle of Rodney Strong wine, so I was quite pleased when at dinner at a friend's house, the host produced a bottle of 2015 Alexander Valley Cab from the Rodney Strong folks. I have had several from this vineyard in the past, and knew it would be good!

This is a complex Cab with a heady nose, good color, and a full spectrum of flavors. There is a lot of lush fruit featuring cherry and blackberry, with a complex background of oak, and a perfect balance between the fruit and the acidity. The alcohol content is 14.5%, and Norm's score is 90.

This is an excellent Cab to pair with steak or other grilled meats, but we enjoyed it with ribs for our Labor Day Feast. It is hard to beat a Cab and a Slab, even if it is a slab of ribs!

score: 90
price: $19 - $23
