This wine continue to impress and kick ass! Drink very well right now. Showed no sign of oxidation on the 2nd evening - it could very well improve but why wait.

(Rodney Strong Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley) Finding a good-value Cabernet Sauvignon from California continues to be a challenge, but Rodney Strong is the winery that put Alexander Valley on the map for Cabernet in the 1970s. Not to be confused with the Sonoma County bottling, this overachieving wine is full-bodied without being overripe, delivering an interesting combination of dark red fruits and balanced tannins.

Nose of red cherry, allspice, and sage, same on the palate, tasty, medium body, smooth, slightly past its prime, medium finish.

Inky cedar cassis nose, integrated spicy oak character melds with aged dark fruit. A long rich spicy complex finish.
Aged well, still a viable wine.
