Wine Enthusiast, 92 Points 

"Carol Shelton is a master of Rhône blends and manages to keep them affordable. This vintage begins with toasted hazelnut, honey and mango on the nose, as the palate brings flavors of almond paste and baked nectarine. Sizzling acidity cuts through the viscous texture." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Enticing nose of spicy pears and white peaches, almond paste/marzipan, a touch of honeysuckle perfume. Multi-dimensional (many layers), a hard-to-describe range of aromatics, intriguing, almost mysterious!  In the mouth it is crisply dry yet creamy and round and full-bodied, with nice almond paste on crisp-yet-juicy pear fruit." 

Alcohol: 13.2%
