Connoisseurs' Guide 91
"A mid-volume, well-made, somewhat polished effort, this one has drink now charm at most every stop save for its tannic end on the palate. Its first nose of black cherries and creamy oak gets a further boost from a bit of Merlot-like openness, and the invitation of the nose extends into the wines fairly supple early texture and ripe flavors. At the finish, the wine runs into a fair bit of roughening tannin, but it can be enjoyed in the near term, and we suggest that it be paired with savory beef roasts to show at its best today. Of course, a few years of age could also be in order for it to soften out."

"From two vineyards, including high-elevation Cooley Ranch, this is a 100% varietal wine highlighting individual reserve-worthy lots. Currant, blackberry and dark chocolate adorn a velvety rich palate of soft supple tannin and integrated oak."
About Rodney Strong
Our story begins over 55 years ago, when a celebrated American dancer named Rod Strong settled in Sonoma County to pursue a second lifelong creative passion: winemaking. Rodney Strong Vineyards was the 13th winery bonded in the newly discovered Sonoma County wine industry. A trio of winemaking paths crossed when Rick Sayre joined the team as Winemaker in 1979, and again when the Klein Family, 4th generation California farmers, purchased the winery in 1989 and initiated a renewed commitment of modern artisan winemaking. Through the years, Rodney Strong Vineyards has earned the reputation for critically acclaimed Single Vineyard and Reserve wines, stand out Estate releases and best-in-class Sonoma County varietal wines.

Rodney Strong received the honor of being named Wine Enthusiast's American Winery of the Year in 2013. Introduced in 2000, each year the Wine Enthusiast honors those that have impacted the wine and spirits industry with their Wine Star Awards. With the designation of American Winery of the Year, the Wine Enthusiast has recognized Rodney Strong's commitment to quality, luxury and Sonoma County
