Carol Shelton Wines, Sonoma County (California) Zinfandel 2010

Mar 19, 2014

By Rich Cook

Here’s an age-worthy wine from Zinfandel master Carol Shelton.  A field blend styled wine, it’s got deep blackberry and plum with fall spice and baker’s chocolate on the nose and in the mouth, with bright acid and a long rich finish.  This is a recent release, and Carol’s wines often take a while to show their full glory, but they’re always worth the wait.  Decant this one in its youth, and age the rest of the case….
