Rodney Strong 2019 Red Blend: Award-Winning Sonoma County Wine

Savor the essence of Sonoma County with Rodney Strong’s 2019 Red Blend—a harmonious marriage of bold flavors and elegance that earned its Double Gold Medal at the 2022 Sonoma County Harvest Fair. Crafted by master winemaker Justin Seidenfeld, this award-winning Rodney Strong red blend combines five premium varietals to create a wine that’s as versatile as it is unforgettable.

Key Features:
– Vineyard Blend: 32% Malbec + 32% Zinfandel + 25% Merlot + 6% Petit Verdot + 5% Riesling
– Vintage: 2019
– Alcohol Content: 14.5%
– Tasting Profile: Rich blackberry and dark cherry flavors with spice undertones, rounded tannins, and a long-lasting finish

Why This Wine Stands Out:
This Sonoma County red wine blend is more than just a drink—it’s an experience designed to elevate everyday moments. The Malbec brings deep fruitiness and texture, while Zinfandel adds complexity from Rodney Strong’s estate vineyards. A splash of Riesling introduces floral brightness for a refreshingly balanced finish. Perfect for pairing with hearty meals or sipping solo on cozy evenings.

Winemaker’s Insight:
“Each grape tells a story,” says Justin Seidenfeld. The Merlot softens the blend with sensuality, Petit Verdot adds intensity, and Riesling’s floral touch ensures every sip feels special—a true celebration of life’s joys.

Whether you’re hosting a dinner party or seeking a unique gift for wine enthusiasts, this Rodney Strong red blend is crafted to impress. Elevate your collection with a bottle that honors tradition while pushing boundaries—after all, great wine is meant to be enjoyed responsibly and shared joyfully.
