winemaker's notes:

Full bodied and richly textured, this cabernet displays intense aromas and flavors of black currant, sandalwood, white pepper and cocoa, with a smooth, lingering finish. If you have access to a cool dark place, lay some bottles of this Reserve down for up to a decade and patience will reward you!

  Is the 2005 one of the best years for California? - 5/18/2009
I would buy this wine again
Wine is part of the meal and taste is very much an individual related variable. However, I think that a good wine will be recognized by everybody regardless of their experience with wine. Rodney Strong Cabernet Sauvignon is one of those very great wine, something that is not happening every year and everybody will recognize and love it. Full bodied with ambrosia like texture, this cabernet has very intense, complex aromas. It is so deep and complex that I cannot imagine something better. It is one of a life time experience to drink it now. However I will save most of the bottles I bought for 2015.

Kosher wine
Kosher
A Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.
Screw Cap wine
Screw Cap
Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.
