Carol Shelton is one of the few winemakers with a solid commitment to Carignane, and she really treats it with the same love and care she gives all her wines. This vintage shows her favored style, with bright red plum, raspberry and spice, with notes of leaf and faint dust adding layers of interest. Supple grip keeps it all together through the lingering, blooming finish. Class up your grilling with a bottle of this! A Platinum Award winner at the 2017 Monterey International Wine Competition.
