I’ve had many friends tell me to go out and buy this Rodney Strong Sonoma Cabernet and ignore the fact that it’s a big producer (I like to find the small ones with unique stories).  So, I finally gave in and I must say that for $17 (or even up to $35), this is an INCREDIBLE Cab!  It’s bursting with ripe red fruit like, dare I say: a Napa Cab?  The vanilla is strong on the finish and makes this a great “by itself” or with anything else sort of wine.  This is great for Tuesday night wine and Friday, Saturday, and Sunday too.
