Our take

What we make of this bottle

In our September 2026 checks the price ranged from $16.99 to $26.99. Our grape research describes Cabernet Sauvignon as a red grape grown in many regions; wines made from it are often firmly built, and it is common in red blends.

Regional authorities point to black currant, cherry and plum as common fruit references, with noticeable tannin and possible spice from oak; ripeness, climate and winemaking can shape a wine that is lean and herbal in style or broad and fruit-led. We do not have a shopper rating for this wine. This is a California wine from Rodney Strong Vineyards, which traces its founding to Rod Strong, who established the winery in Sonoma County in 1959.

Region guideCalifornia

A little background helps this bottle make sense.

Getting to know California.

California on the label is useful provenance but weak detail about place. For these wines, sourcing disclosure, blend construction and house-style consistency carry more decision value than a generic climate paragraph.

The place

What the name means

A state-level appellation, broader than an individual American Viticultural Area. It permits a multi-region blend and does not by itself identify one climate or soil.

Weather

How grapes grow here

The state spans cool maritime zones and hot inland valleys. A California designation alone does not reveal which conditions shaped the fruit.

Soil

What lies under the vines

At state scale, sourcing and house-style construction matter more than any single soil story.

How large the region is

Reusable question
Which counties or AVAs supplied the blend, and did that mix change by release?

Places within the region

Resolution limit
County, AVA and vineyard claims begin only when the release names them.

The grape name gives context. It is not a review of this bottle.

Getting to know Cabernet Sauvignon.

Cabernet Sauvignon is a red grape grown in many wine regions. It often makes firmly built wines and is also a common part of red blends.

Category guide

What to expect in the glass

Regional authorities describe black currant, cherry and plum as common fruit references, with noticeable tannin and possible spice from oak. Ripeness, climate and winemaking can move the wine from lean and herbal to broad and fruit-led.
