Rodney Strong Vineyards Sonoma Merlot

Rodney Strong was one of the pioneers of Sonomo County’s modern wine industry, an acknowledged visionary who understood the potential that sonoma County’s soil and climate held for producting world-class wines. He was the first to craft a Single Vineyard Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, one of the first to plant Pinot Noir in the Russian River Valley, and the first to produce a Chalk Hill Chardonnay. Today, Winemaker Rick Sayre and the Klein family continue their drive for innovation and devotion to Sonoma Country, with 13 expectional estate vineyards representing an exquisite range of varietal selection and regional terroir.
