RODNEY STRONG ANNOUNCES RELEASE OF NEW RED BLEND

The Rodney Strong 2019 Sonoma County Red Blend


Healdsburg, CA, April 14, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rodney Strong Vineyards, one of the great family-owned wineries in California, established by former dancer, producer, and wine pioneer Rod Strong in Sonoma County in 1959, is excited to announce the release of its Sonoma County Red Blend. Wine consumers have been flocking to red blends for over two decades, and the category is stronger than ever. Rodney Strong, who first released the iconic Bordeaux-style red blend Symmetry in 1996, has been an expert in the blend and brings their passion and experience to this new wine — a red blend grounded in Sonoma County terroir to be enjoyed now, with friends new and old.

Senior V.P. of Winemaking & Winegrowing Justin Seidenfeld, working with his talented team led by Alison Dericco, Estate Vineyard Manager, Cellar Master Manuel Villanueva, and Winemaker Olivia Wright, delivered to the bottle his vision of what he wanted in a Rodney Strong Red Blend, “I wanted to make a Red Blend that celebrates both balance and beauty, and the crucial interplay in all great wines between both structure and generosity. The 2019 Red Blend is a wine that not only comes from Sonoma County’s best sustainably-farmed vineyards, but it also reflects what Sonoma County and Rodney Strong Winery stand for: Community, Sustainability, Friendships, Family, Fun and the Joys of the Table.”

Merlot is Justin’s favorite variety, and to hear him speak about Merlot’s wonders is to become a convert. The 2019 Red Blend is predominantly Merlot, with Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc making up the rest of the blend. Fine Merlot is about grace, providing the balance and beauty required of a great Red Blend. The 2019 Rodney Strong Red Blend is juicy and bright, a wine about finesse and suppleness, supported with vibrant freshness and acidity. A Red Blend that caresses the palate with black cherry and pomegranate flavors buttressed by notes of vanilla, oak, and baking spices. It’s a wine that you want to reach for over and over again.
