					<description><![CDATA[Deep ruby color; black cherry, blackcurrant, blackberry, raspberry, plum, violets, mocha, vanilla, baking spice on the nose and palate. Dry; ripe, moderate tannins; good balancing acidity (3.66 pH; 5.9 g/L TA). Medium-plus body. Grapes from selected quality Sonoma County vineyards—Alexander Valley, Knight’s Valley. A dry vintage reduced yields and concentrated flavors.

					<description><![CDATA[Medium ruby color; cherry, black raspberry, strawberry, plum, wet stone, clove, earth—forest floor, toasted oak on the nose and palate. Dry; mild tannins, good acidity (3.53 pH). Medium-plus body. Smooth, balanced, velvety mouthfeel. Delicious fruit. Rich and inviting with complexity and length. After early morning harvest, select areas in each vineyard block were fermented separately, <a class="read-more" href="https://www.gusclemensonwine.com/rodney-strong-vineyards-russian-river-valley-reserve-pinot-noir-2021/">Read More</a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Deep ruby color; black cherry, raspberry, plum, blackberry, blackcurrant, vanilla, oak, cedar, spice, black pepper on the nose and palate. Dry; plush, integrated tannins, moderate acidity. This is built for pleasure rather than complexity. Medium-plus body. Blend of 79% cabernet sauvignon, 9% petit verdot, 6% malbec, 4% merlot, 2% cabernet franc—making it a Meritage effort, <a class="read-more" href="https://www.gusclemensonwine.com/rodney-strong-vineyards-symmetry-red-wine-sonoma-county-2018/">Read More</a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Pale gold color; lemon, citrus, tangerine, yellow apple, pear, vanilla, butter, oak spice on the nose and palate. Dry; very bright acidity (3.17 pH). Rich, medium body. Light tartness. The 2021 vintage was mild and dry, a nice respite from the fires of 2020. The winemakers anticipated ideal ripening conditions, maybe an early harvest.

					<description><![CDATA[Deep ruby color; blackberry, dark cherry, blackcurrant, plum, mocha, chocolate, violets on the nose and palate. Dry; supple, reserved tannins and balancing acidity (3.72 pH). Smooth, almost reticent rather than an obstreperous Cali cab. The ripe fruit and oak are there but not flagrantly demanding attention. A nice touch. The wine spent 24 months in <a class="read-more" href="https://www.gusclemensonwine.com/rodney-strong-vineyards-reserve-cabernet-sauvignon-2018/">Read More</a>]]></description>
