Brothers Ridge

2009 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Rodney Strong Brothers Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon from the 2009 vintage is a remarkable expression of the Alexander Valley, showcasing the region's characteristic lushness and complexity. This red wine offers a full-bodied experience, presenting a deep garnet color that invites you to explore its depths. With an acidity that is bright, it balances the wine's richness perfectly, while its tannins are notable yet refined, providing structure and age-worthiness. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing luscious notes of black cherry, plum, and hints of dark chocolate that intermingle beautifully. As a dry wine, it concludes with a pleasing finish that lingers on the palate, making it a delightful companion for rich dishes or simply enjoyed on its own.

Region:


Sonoma County
Sonoma County

Many of California's world-class wines come from Sonoma County, separated from Napa by the Mayacamas Mountains. Three times the size of Napa, Sonoma is an incredibly diverse region. Cool coastal zones, fog-cloaked hillsides, sheltered valleys and craggy exposed peaks give Sonoma a vast array of terroirs and microclimates. Its many sub-regions produce a broad range of styles: from the bold Cabernets of Alexander Valley to the fragrant Pinots of Sonoma Coast and the sublime Chardonnays of Chalk Hill.
