2007 Carol Shelton "Karma Zin" Rue Vineyard Russian River Valley Zinfandel
One 750ml bottle
This Zinfandel dominated field blend is complexly layered with spice and black fruit. The pretty blueberry fragrance leads to a palate rich with creamy oak, vanilla, dark chocolate, nutmeg and cinnamon. All of the grapes come from the legendary Rue Vineyard which was planted before 1900, making this a wine that truly lives up to the designation "old vine."
The name KarmaZin™ was bestowed in gratitude for the many gifts of good Karma received in life, whatever the source. When positive energy is put forth in hard work mixed with integrity, the giver is rewarded with success, the fulfillment of a dream.
