Tasting note

This Sonoma Merlot has bright, Bing cherry skin and a touch of savory herb flavors. When tasted, there's a lush, silky quality and a lingering finish full of fresh fruit and a touch of milk chocolate. Excellent. Highly Recommended. Score - 93. (Ultimate Wine Challenge, 2016)

Plum and blueberry flavors 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. Drink this satisfying merlot over the next 2 to 4 years.

Rodney Strong Merlot displays the bright, red fruit character with the deep dark fruit flavours and mature tannins. Plum and blueberry flavours dominate in this soft, rich, mouth-filling red, and are enhanced by aging in small oak barrels for a toasty, spicy vanilla character, and a lingering berry-cream finish. Lovely paired with beef, lamb, barbeque, hearty pastas and cheese. Drink this over the next 2 to 4 years.
