About the Winery
In 1959, Rodney Strong and his wife retired from dance and purchased a century-old boarding house where they began to make their first wines. Rod began purchasing bulk wine and blending and bottling it while his wife operated the tasting room. In 1962 Rod purchased a winery and vineyard in Windsor, which was located in Sonoma County) and began to learn the craft. Six years later Rod would purchase land in Russian River Valley where he would plant Pinot Noir. In 1979 Rod took a step back and hired Rick Sayre to become the company’s winemaker.

The Klein family came along in 1989 and purchased Rodney Strong Vineyards. 2009 was a year of milestones for the winery, as it was Rick Sayre’s 30-year anniversary as well as the Klein’s 20-year anniversary as owners.

The winery currently farms 14 estate vineyards and sources grapes from vineyards throughout Sonoma County!

Tobin’s Review 2 out of 5
Rodney Strong Sauvignon Blanc 2018 has a light apple hue with apple on the nose. The wine is soft on the tongue and I pick up flavors of apricot, peach and tart Granny Smith apples. The wine starts out pleasant but has a harsh aftertaste is very strong and lingers. I am not a fan of this one!
