Rodney Strong, Sonoma County (California) Malbec 2013

Apr 18, 2017

By Robert Whitley
Malbec may be the money grape of Argentina, but here in the United States it is typically used as a blending agent. Rodney Strong not only produces a stand-alone Malbec, it also offers a reserve. This vintage was outstanding for other red varieties in northern California, so it’s no surprise it suited the Rodney Strong Malbec. This is a beautiful wine that shows layered black fruits, a note of anise, and smooth, supple tannins that complete the package. Suave and polished, this wine is a show-stopper for any occasion.
