Reserve

2008 Russian River Valley Chardonnay

The Rodney Strong Reserve Chardonnay from the 2008 vintage is a delightful expression of the Russian River Valley. This wine showcases a medium-bodied character that is beautifully balanced by vibrant acidity, offering a refreshing lift to each sip. The fruit intensity is prominent, featuring captivating notes of ripe apple, pear, and subtle stone fruit, which mingle seamlessly with hints of vanilla and toasty oak. Tannins are soft, allowing the fruit to shine while providing a graceful structure. This Chardonnay is bone dry, making it an excellent choice for pairing with light seafood dishes or creamy pasta. Enjoy this remarkable wine chilled to fully appreciate its lively and complex profile.

Sonoma County
Sonoma County

Many of California's world-class wines come from Sonoma County, separated from Napa by the Mayacamas Mountains. Three times the size of Napa, Sonoma is an incredibly diverse region. Cool coastal zones, fog-cloaked hillsides, sheltered valleys and craggy exposed peaks give Sonoma a vast array of terroirs and microclimates. Its many sub-regions produce a broad range of styles: from the bold Cabernets of Alexander Valley to the fragrant Pinots of Sonoma Coast and the sublime Chardonnays of Chalk Hill.
