April....15

I have been working up North and haven't had the chance to really taste or read about any of my wines for the past couple of weeks. I did buy a bottle of a Rodney Strong Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, Sonoma County. I don't remeber the vintage I think it was a 2005. Nothing I would recommend to anyone. It lacked nose, aroma and body. More like drinking water with a hint of blackcurrant or plum.
I also had a bottle of Forest Glen Cabernet Sauvignon 2003, California that had been sitting around. It was very bitter and with strong tannins. It had a great nose: aromas of blackcherry, vanilla, and a little oak. Lacked body and not balanced.
Those are the only two new wines that I have tried lately.
