Country: US / Symmetry Red
Variety: Meritage California
Winery: Rodney Strong / Alexander Valley
Blended from all five classic Bordeaux varieties, based on Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine suffered from the cold vintage. The wine is tannic and acidic, and the cherry and currant flavors are modest. The winery did its best to install elegance, and succeeded, but it’s a wine to air and drink now.
