May 16, 2021 - 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.

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+
