Rodney Strong is on a serious roll right now, and this is a budget friendly winner in their portfolio. It shows its Sonoma origin, with red and black fruit, high-toned dried herbs and soft spice on the nose and in the mouth, with structured tannins, good grip and a long, well-integrated finish — the sort of thing that you’d expect to pay a lot more for. At this production level, you’ll have no trouble finding it. Go now! A Double Gold Award winner at the 2016 Toast of the Coast Wine Competition.
