Rockaway Cabernet Sauvignon
One of my favorite wines is Rodney Strong’s Rockaway Cabernet Sauvignon. This single vineyard 2005 vintage from Alexander Valley is composed of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Malbec, and 4% Petit Verdot. All of the wine is made completely from free run juice from the best spots, “sweet spots”, in the best lots.
The wine itself is very inky, and dark garnet in color. The wines aromas favor blackberry, blueberry, and plum. The wine is extremely bold and tannic with a long finish of cherry and earth, this wine will age beautifully.
Nothing better than a bottle of Rockaway and a nice flat iron steak on a cool summer night.
