Rodney Strong Sonoma County 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon







Rodney Strong Sonoma County 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon, $14.49-$21.99, 88 points, poured an opaque sienna color with a broad clear wine ring and moderate glass sheeting.
Aromatic cedar, blueberry, cocoa, and lavender were pleasant.
Medium-plus body showed good acidity, supportive underlayment of tannin, and flavors of mulberry, blueberry, plum, licorice, and a hint of fennel.
Finished fair on the trailing palate, a touch of pomegranate, easy warm spices, and a well-balanced 13.5% alcohol.
Paired fine with my Mexican cuisine.
