  This is an exceptional offering from Rodney Strong.- Even though it is declared a "reserve", it drinks and tastes like a very good regular bottling from RS. I give it 92 points based on it's structure, taste, complexity, exceptional chewy mouth feel and finish. It's just a really good cabernet from Sonoma.

  Long, dark, and brooding, this has the gift of time. Purple garnet color. Intense aromas of black currants, bright spices, chocolate, and walnut shell segue into a youthful, rich, and full-bodied wine. It hides its high alcohol well but needs at least an hour to soften in the glass. Decant. 90+

  Popped and poured; could've used an hour decant time and might have scored higher. Cork crumbled upon opening, but no sediment was present. Probably has a few years left.

  A lot of alcohol at the finish. Not much fruit. Needed overnight to open up.
