| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
RODNEY STRONG |
| Fairly deep purple colour. Attractive, slightly spicy, bright, cedary, ripe cherry-plum puree nose with some sandalwood, mineral-tinged notes. Dry, medium bodied, quite well structured, somewhat dusty, slightly peppery, ripe plum-cherry flavours with a lingering, high acid finish. Has 14.5% alcohol and can still evolve. TONY ASPLER / 89-points / TRY - A nose of black raspberry, rust and tomato leaf; medium-bodied, dry, sweet raspberry fruit; well-balanced and firm with a smoky-tarry note on the finish. |

| TASTING NOTE: A new release from the Rodney Strong winemaking team, this focuses on Green Valley, one of the coolest parts of Sonoma Coast. On top of that, this has the unique Goldridge soil, giving this Green Valley pinot a different look. Aging for 10 months in French oak barrels, one third new, has left this expressive red with a medium red colour and a cool forest floor, rooty, earthy note that mixes well with its pomegranate and raspberry notes. The palate is warm and silky with a hint of cola and baking spices. New world but with adequate restraint to respect the variety. Score - 89 (Anthony Gismondi, gismondionwine.com, March 10, 2017) |
