  12/15/2023 - The Drunken Cyclist Likes this wine: 95 Points

  Retail $90. Heavy bottle (731g; 1lb 9.8oz). 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. The third in the Rodney Strong Single Vineyard trilogy, the Brothers, according to the fine folk at Rodney Strong, is the biggest and boldest of the three, pretty much every year. And that certainly tracks here. Dark, on the verge of brooding in the glass with fruit for sure (black raspberry, cassis, blackberry), but the darker mocha or even just straight up dark chocolate make the bigger impressions on the nose. The palate is rich and alluring, like that first date when you are pretty sure you are out of your league but you hang in there just in case. Full, textured, and spicy, this is certainly the biggest of the three and that is backed up by some grippy, but at the same time silky, tannins on the finish. Whoa. 95 Points.
