Rodney Strong Merlot 1998
Alexander Valley, Sonoma County, California, United StatesSmoky oaky sweaty resiny nose with cherry and a hint of green bean. Very soft and round and easy to drink. Not overly varietal and not quite as beefy as the 1997 but ready to drink and should do well in restaurants. Oaky without the fruit.
