Ms. Shelton hits the Platinum button again with this gem, which I’ve loved since the first vintage. Lemon oil takes the lead, on the nose and in the mouth, with honeysuckle, nut and subtle stone fruit joining in. The finish is opening after a couple more months in the bottle, and like all of Carol Shelton’s wines, this is headed in a great direction. A Platinum Award winner at the 2021 Monterey International Wine Competition.
