Rodney Strong Vineyards, California (United States) 2018

Jun 9, 2020

By Robert Whitley

 Rodney’s Strong’s Upshot white blend is as eclectic as eclectic can be, combining Chardonnay, Grenache Blanc, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Noir (you read that right), Viognier and Sauvignon Blanc.  But it works.  Aromas of stone fruit, melon and spice with a hint of citrus waft from the glass.  Each whiff is slightly different.  The balance is exquisite.  Brilliant!  A Platinum Award Winner at the 2020 San Diego International Wine & Spirits Challenge.
