2017 Rodney Strong Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve Sonoma County

Spiced currants, black cherries, cedarwood, and a touch of bay leaf all emerge from the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve, a medium-bodied, nicely textured, pretty Cabernet with a straight, focused texture, good overall balance, and a clean finish. It's relatively mid-weight through the mid-palate, yet the tannins are nicely managed, and it should have a decade of prime drinking.
