2021 Carol Shelton Coquille Blanc, Paso Robles   

Exotic 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. HARVEST DATE: September 9 (Roussanne/Viognier) and 28 (GB/Marsanne), 2019
