Rodney Strong Symmetry Red Meritage 2021

The Rodney Strong Symmetry Red Meritage hails from the Alexander Valley within Sonoma County, United States. Founded in 1959 by wine pioneer Rodney Strong, the winery was the 13th bonded facility in the county and is now helmed by the Klein family, who have prioritized sustainable farming and estate quality since 1989. The vineyard's philosophy focuses on capturing the essence of diverse Sonoma terroirs through innovative, small lot winemaking in their state of the art Artisan Cellar.

Wine Description

This deeply hued red blend offers an opulent sensory profile with intense aromas of black cherry, plum, and rose petals, underscored by complex notes of Tahitian vanilla and sweet tobacco. On the palate, it is harmonious and elegant, featuring silky layers of black fruits, baking spices, and a touch of minerality that leads to a vibrant, lingering finish.

Food Pairing

This wine is a superb companion for rich, marbled meats such as braised lamb shanks, grilled ribeye, or slow cooked beef stew. It also pairs elegantly with roasted root vegetables or a savory grilled pork tenderloin.
