The divine Ms. Shelton has been working with the Piazza Ranch fruit for a few years now, and she’s got it dialed in with the 2016. It’s a refined expression of Lodi, with bright citric acidity carrying brambly fruit, spice and pepper through long, fully integrated wine. She knows what she’s doing! A Platinum Award Winner at the 2018 San Diego International Wine & Spirits Challenge.
