Reserve

2006 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

The Rodney Strong Reserve 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon from Alexander Valley is a stunning representation of what this renowned region has to offer. This full-bodied red wine captivates the senses with its deep ruby color and inviting aromas of dark fruit, such as blackcurrants and blackberries, beautifully intertwined with notes of vanilla and toasted oak. On the palate, the wine exhibits high acidity that imparts a refreshing quality, perfectly balancing the pronounced fruit intensity. The tannins are prominent yet velvety, ensuring a structured mouthfeel that evolves gracefully with each sip. As a dry wine, it stands out for its complexity and depth, making it a delightful choice for pairing with rich dishes or enjoying 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.
