"The 2023 Sonoma County Merlot is velvety soft with notes of sweet black cherry, boysenberry compote and cassis. Medium bodied with lush tannins, this wine boasts toasty oak and spice on the mid-palate punctuated by a full and lively finish. These luscious dark fruit and toasty flavors are enhanced by a kiss of new French oak. Enjoy this soft and elegant Merlot with grilled pork chops and cherry reduction, rosemary crusted lamb shanks or creamy polenta with a short rib ragu." Winemaker's Notes
Rodney Strong Description
"Full-bodied with dark plum, spice, and red currant aromas and flavors with a soft, silky finish.
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."
