Reserve

2006 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

The Rodney Strong Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon from the 2006 vintage is a stunning expression of the Alexander Valley region, known for its ripe, sun-kissed grapes. This full-bodied red wine exhibits a remarkable balance, showcasing high acidity that adds vibrancy and life to its character. The fruit intensity is prominent, featuring luscious dark fruit flavors such as blackcurrant and plum, complemented by subtle hints of spice and oak from the aging process. Tannins are notable yet refined, providing a firm structure that supports the wine's richness without overpowering it. With a delightful dry finish, this wine is perfect for pairing with hearty dishes or enjoying on its own, making it a true gem from this esteemed wine-growing area.

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.
