#73 Cabernet Sauvignon from Stryker

Most of this quest so far has been a pursuit of the harder to find grapes. Today however it is time to open a Stryker Cab. All I need to say is that this is a producer you will not find in stores, they sell every bottle to wine club members and visitors and they make a wide variety of great wines from some of the best sites in the Sonoma area.

The 2004 Sonoma County Cabernet is a big fleshy lush effort with a sharp backbone. It is not one of their many single vineyard wines yet it still has that Sonoma character. Do yourself a favor and make sure this is one winery you visit the next time you are in the area.
