Rodney Strong Vineyards
Alexander's Crown Cabernet Sauvignon
A clear step down from their "Rockaway" but a step up from an entry level Rodney Strong Cab. Very woodsy without distinct oak spices except vanilla---and there was lots of that. Deep, dark fruit, grippy tannins, but lacking acidity. All in---not bad.

May 20th, 2015At the Palm on 50th st for dinner before our show. The 2010 RS Alexander's Crown was recommended by the Wine Director... Home run; perfect match with our steaks! Opened up quickly and drank with a silky finish.

Mar 15th, 2015Enjoyed this great wine with friends. It was delicious... Full-bodied with dark ripe fruit, jammy yet velvety and smooth.
