The authenticated Southern Glazer’s exact item confirms the \u003cstrong\u003e2023 vintage, 750ml bottle, and 14.5% ABV (29 proof)\u003c\/strong\u003e, with Sonoma County shown on both the item record and front label. The wine is packaged in a single glass bottle under a natural-cork closure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRodney Strong describes this Sonoma County Merlot as medium bodied, with soft tannins and notes of blackberry, fig compote, and cassis. Toasty oak and spice develop through the mid-palate before a full, lively finish, and the producer attributes the dark-fruit and toasted character to aging in French oak barrels. The verified profile supports serving it with savory dishes; Southern Glazer’s pairing guidance includes pork, smoked preparations, mushrooms, onions, and pungent cheeses. The clean exact-vintage package image visibly reads Rodney Strong, Merlot, 2023, and Sonoma County.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rodney Strong","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53108533592245,"sku":"087512073395","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/9899\/2821\/files\/Rodney-Strong-Merlot-Sonoma-County-2023-LoveSco-57.jpg?v=1788021425","url":"https:\/\/lovescotch.com\/products\/rodney-strong-merlot-sonoma-county-2023","provider":"LoveScotch.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
