					<description><![CDATA[Deep ruby color; dark plum, black cherry, red and black currant, blackberry, mint, tobacco, leather, minerals, brown spice, baking spice, earth on the nose and palate. Dry; significant, tight tannins and sediment—decanting strongly advised. Amicable acidity (3.84 pH). Clear oak influences from 24 months aging in 100% new oak. Dense, rich, bold, chewy. Full body. <a class="read-more" href="https://www.gusclemensonwine.com/rodney-strong-rockaway-cabernet-sauvignon-single-vineyard-alexander-valley-2018/">Read More</a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Deep ruby color; black cherry, blackcurrant, plum, blueberry, chocolate, oak, tobacco, cedar, spice, minerality on the nose and palate. Dry; medium, dusty tannins and medium acidity (3.75 pH). This works as pop-and-pour, but became more mellow and integrated after decanting. Lot of dark fruit going on here. Full body. Not a smooth easy drinker, rather <a class="read-more" href="https://www.gusclemensonwine.com/rodney-strong-brothers-ridge-single-vineyard-cabernet-sauvignon-alexander-valley-2018/">Read More</a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Deep ruby color; black cherry, plum, blackcurrant, blackberries, black olives, dark chocolate, vanilla, tobacco on the nose and palate. Dry; round, broad; well-behaved tannins; good acidity (3.63 pH); overall balance. Medium body. Rich, smooth mouthfeel. Plush, welcoming. Pleasantly lingering finish allows tasty, intensely-flavored dark fruits to have delightful curtain calls after the initial attack.
