Rhone blends are wine blends based on the same style they make in the Rhone Valley in France. White Rhone Blends are full of some obscure grapes. You can use a bunch of different grapes, but the most common are Viognier, Grenache Blanc, Marsanne and Roussanne. The cool things about Rhone Blends is the weaknesses of some grapes can be masked by the strengths of others. So Viognier is floral and aromatic, but has low acidity. Cue the Grenache Blanc. A little M and R (Marsanne and Roussanne) for some lush fruit, and bam! The blend is born. Red Rhone blends are usually Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, or a GSM. For good reason; they all play nice. Grenache is the fruit and body, Syrah is the spice and complexity, and Mourvèdre is the tannin and finish. Have you ever seen a “Cote de Rhone” in the wine shop? They make oceans of the stuff, so a lot of it is exported here. Most of those are GSMs!
