title: Rodney Strong 2007 Brothers Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon (Alexander Valley)
description: This nearly 100% Cabernet is strongly flavored, bone dry, very tannic and nowhere near ready. It has a tough, astringent mouthfeel, and the concentrated richness of grapes grown on low-yielding hillsides. Intense flavors of blackberries, black cherries, cassis, cola and herbs mark this fine, ageable wine. Don't touch it before 2013, and it should ride out many years beyond that.
variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
