Rodney Strong Upshot 2015
Sonoma County, California, United StatesThe final or eventual positive outcome or conclusion of a discussion, action, or series of events is the impetus for Rodney Strong’s Upshot red blend. It’s all Sonoma and most of it is grown in the Alexander Valley and Knights Valley. The style is lush, the textures soft with plenty of forward, warm, black fruit. I worried it was going to be sweet but it’s not overly ripe. The blend is a bit unusual at 44/29/15/7/5 zinfandel, merlot, malbec, petit verdot and riesling (!!), but it works and is ready to drink. The hipster label that chronicles the life of the wine is accompanied by a screwcap closure for easy access. Bottom line: Upshot is fun.Tasted: 30 January 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| US | $28.00 | 750ml | estimated retail |
