Carol Shelton Zinfandel 'Rocky Reserve' Dry Creek Valley 2018 skus_6431348 plum and licorice give wayNice dark red in color, big blueberry blackberry fruit, spicy chocolatey oak, nicely focused acidity enhances mineral flavors, elegantly structured tannins for aging, super plush long finish! This red is expressive and packed with plenty of torque, yet balanced and focused, with fresh violet, raspberry, grilled fennel and a whiff of iron. Builds tension toward medium grained tannins. Best from 2022 through 2030.
