Rodney Strong Merlot 2004
Sonoma County, California, United StatesThe nose is fragrant mixing cedar and vanilla and some toasted oak notes. The entry is slightly lean and acidic a theme that runs through its spicy black fruit flavours. Solid if a little too cedar-y to be considered serious. Needs food to smooth put the edges.Tasted: 30 November 2008Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $24.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
