92 POINTS - "Rodney Strong’s investments in hillside vineyards have been paying off in wines like this 2014, a blend based on cabernet sauvignon from the Brothers Vineyard in the hills above Geyserville. It includes small lots of merlot and petit verdot from estate properties in Alexander Valley, along with malbec and cabernet from Knights Valley. It’s the clarity of the flavor that’s most impressive—woodland cherry notes that capture the cool elevations of the fruit and a dark, foresty mushroom savor that amplifies the tannins. Silky and plump, with lasting intensity, this is a mouthwatering cabernet to serve with roast lamb." - Wine & Spirits

91 POINTS - "I have always liked the name Symmetry because it reminded me that one of Rodney Strong Vineyards reasons to be is to make balanced wines. The 2014 vintage represents elegance. This wine is firm and well-balanced. Its aromas and flavors of red and black fruit, with just a touch of oak and moderate tannins, should make an ideal match with roast chicken." - Wilfred Wong

91 POINTS - "Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2014 Proprietary Red Symmetry has pretty red and black currants notes with touches of dried herbs, tilled soil and tapenade. Medium to full-bodied, the palate gives up vibrant black fruits with a refreshing line and nice, chewy tannins, finishing on a mineral note." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
