title: Rodney Strong 2012 Rockaway Cabernet Sauvignon (Alexander Valley)
description: From the producer's sloping vineyard at a 750-foot elevation in the eastern section of the appellation, this wine also contains 4% Malbec from the same site. Earthy in stewed mushrooms, grilled meat and bouillon, it's a bold, dense powerhouse of a wine, with a tobacco-laden finish.
variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
