Wine Review: This opaque and midnight purple-colored Cabernet Sauvignon from Rodney Strong opens with a shy black cherry bouquet with hints of blueberry and chocolate. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, round, fresh, and approachable. The flavor profile is a graphite and black raspberry blend with notes of black plum and gentle oak. I also detected a hint of cocoa, black cherry, and a touch of lime zest. The finish is dry and its well-managed dusty tannins drift away nicely. I would pair this Cab with grilled steak tips. Enjoy - Ken
Winemaker Notes: Our 2023 Limited Tier Knights Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is deeply colored and bursting with aromas of crushed blackberries, spicy dark plum, dusty cocoa powder, cassis, and wild raspberry. The complex layers of spice, red fruit and chocolate on the palate are framed in rich, velvety tannins with a long lingering finish. Enjoy this Cabernet Sauvignon now with braised short ribs, ravioli, or lamb shanks, or cellar it to enjoy over the next 3 to 5 years.
