Tasting Note

Plum and blueberry flavours with a touch of dried herb predominate in this soft, rich, mouth filling merlot, and are enhanced by aging in small oak barrels for a toasty, spicy vanilla character, and a lingering berry-cream finish.

Product Notes

Rodney Strong Vineyards Sonoma County Merlot is a luscious, well-balanced wine with notes of dark fruits, chocolate, and subtle oak. The grapes are sourced exclusively from Sonoma County's finest vineyards, and careful aging in French and American oak barrels creates a depth of flavor and smooth tannins. This Merlot has a youthful, vibrant color and a complex aroma that includes black cherry, blackberry, and cocoa. On the palate, the wine is velvety and medium-bodied, with a long, pleasing finish. This is a versatile wine that pairs well with a variety of foods, including grilled meats, pasta dishes, and rich cheeses.

About the Winery

Rodney Strong Vineyards

The story of Rodney Strong Vineyards began in 1959 when the winery’s founder Rodney S. Strong retired from his dancing career. He married Charlotte Ann Winson, his dance accompanist and partner, and started his life in the winemaking art and industry. His venture into the new field led him to Sonoma County. There he realised the value and potential of the land that could lead to unmatched diversity and world-class standards of the planted vines.
