Since 1959, our passion has been to craft best in class wines in our sustainable winery to share with friends and family. Our Merlot is grown in our vineyards and other local farms in Sonoma County. It displays aromas of black plum, berry and spice. Aging in small oak barrels adds a lush, toasted oak character to the long finish. www.rodneystrong.com.
