Carol Shelton Wine Sampler
A TASTE of ... Carol Shelton Wines
The Zen of Zin
Six (6) 50ml bottles
Not only has Carol Shelton mastered Zin, she has taken it to new heights and for this, all Zin lovers are grateful.
For their highly-acclaimed, single-vineyard designated wines, Carol Shelton and and her husband and business partner, Mitch Mackenzie, have sought out exceptional vineyards throughout California. “Finding a great vineyard means I can now share an agricultural treasure with others, and this is one reason why my wines are vineyard designated,” Shelton says. “I want to give credit to the growers who grew these amazing grapes.”
Carol Shelton Wines sources grapes, mostly Zinfandel, from most of the great California growing regions including Dry Creek Valley, Rockpile (a mountainous appellation adjacent to Dry Creek Valley), Russian River Valley, Mendocino and, believe it or not, Cucamonga. Many of her vineyard sources are organically grown, and most are old vines with very low yields.
“Having Zin vineyards from diverse growing regions allows us the opportunity to offer Zin lovers a selection of Zins with a wide range of flavors,” Carol says. “Each wine has its unique flavors and style.”
