title: Rodney Strong 2005 Symmetry Red Meritage (Alexander Valley)
description: Rodney Strong's Symmetry is more tannic than their '05 Reserve Cab, and it also has more complex flavors from being a blend of all five Bordeaux varieties. It shows a deep streak of dark stone fruits, black and blue berries, cassis, carob, violets and smoky cedar. Fine and elegant now, and it should develop nicely over the next decade.
variety: Meritage
designation: Symmetry Red
