In 1976, Carol Shelton was the second female to graduate with an Enology degree at UC Davis.
She is a guru of single vineyard zin and focuses on organic, sustainable old vines. Considered the “Zenmaster of Zin.”
Often being the only female in a boy’s club of California winemakers, she decided to start her own eponymous company in the early 90’s.
Carol Shelton Coquille Blanc 2019
Bring on the pears, peaches, and marzipan with a roundness, a nice acidity and minerality. Billed as a “red wine drinkers white” it’s a beautiful take on a Rhone Blend out of Paso Robles. This wine has multiple layers and is meant to be savored. Perfect for a small gathering of friends, an herb roasted bird or pork roast and some crusty bread. Enjoy.
Carol Shelton Wild Thing Viognier 2020
Think tropical for this fun wine. Pineapple, mango, pear, peach and citrus. This one is also on the fuller, creamy side. Don’t be put off by the fruit presence, just pair it with some spicy Thai or Indian dishes to see it soar.
Carol Shelton Coquille Rouge 2020
To me this one is “Dripping in Finesse”. Yes, I said it. Another French blend out of Paso. Black cherry, blackberry, strawberry, blueberry, with some dirt, leather and spice. It’s dry, smooth and has a beautiful finish. I’m feeling some slow rack roasted beef short ribs that were generously coated with kosher salt and black pepper. Hold the Gremolata but that’s just me. “Shut the s#$% down on sight! That’s right!”
Rocky Reserve Zinfandel 2018
This one of the best Cali Zins! Dark fruit heavy. Blackberry, blueberry, dark plum, oak, vanilla, sage, and chocolate. And then there’s an amazing plush finish. I get images of Barry White singing “Playing Your Game, Baby” wearing a velvet smoking jacket. I’d like a braised lamb shank or some aged cheddar and bresaola or just a velvet smoking jacket.
