Last night, I pulled the cork on a recently acquired bottle of
RODNEY STRONG €“ Sonoma County 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon
The first impression was of a pronounced Cherry nose, but that faded with
more airing time, as some layers of olive and cedar began to come through.
It had a medium body, and a fairly long finish. It needs more time,
but when one is about 100 or so, who can wait? ;-)

A solid 16+ on the Davis scale.

Thanks for notes. I've generally thought the Rodney Strong cabs were
fairly solid wines (as are the Chards, far less success with the PN).
I'll look for the 2003.
Only 100? I thought Godzilla was prehistoric!
