About Rodney Strong Vineyards
At Rodney Strong Vineyards, we are dedicated to Sonoma County. The winery was established in 1959 by Rod Strong, one of the first pioneers of the modern wine industry in California, as the 13th bonded winery in Sonoma County. Since 1989, the winery has been privately owned by the Klein family, a fourth generation California agricultural family.
Rodney Strong Vineyards grows and produces wines exclusively from four of Sonoma County's finest appellations—Russian River Valley, Chalk Hill, Alexander Valley and Sonoma Coast. The winery's twelve unique estate vineyards represent the perfect marriage of varietal selection and terroir. Year after bountiful year, Rodney Strong specializes in making wine from fruit grown exclusively in Sonoma County.
The current offerings include Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Symmetry, a red Meritage wine. “All of our wines highlight the stylistic diversity and exceptional quality of Sonoma County, one of the world's finest grape-growing regions,” explains Tom Klein, Proprietor. Among its many plaudits, Rodney Strong earned the distinction of producing the very first Single-Vineyard Cabernet in Sonoma County, the 1974 Alexander's Crown Cabernet Sauvignon.
Rodney Strong Vineyards is dedicated to crafting world-class wines with complexity and varietal expression that capture the essence of Sonoma County. In 2005, Rodney Strong Vineyards was named “Winery of the Year” by the California Travel Industry Association.
