WTN: Carol Shelton Coquille Blanc '22...(short/boring)

Tried this white Rhone blend last night:
1. Carol Shelton Coquille Blanc PasoRobles WW (13%; GrenacheBlanc/Roussanne/Marsanne/Viognier; www.CarolShelton.com) SantaRosa 2022: Med.gold color; lovely very fragrant honeysuckle/GB/floral light apple/pear/Viog bit complex quite perfumed nose; fairly tart/tangy very strong floral/honeyed/honeysuckle/GB some honeyed/spicy/nutmeg light chalky/mineral rather rich/lush lovely flavor; very long/lingering finish that mimics flavor; a really lovely White Rhone blend w/ lots of rich/lush character but good balance; reminds me some of TablasCreek Esprit Blanc but more towards the TCV Patelin de Tablas Blanc but somewhat more structured; quite a lovely white Rhone blend at a very attractive price; not the usual overripe/porky character of many PR white Rhone blends. $29.00 (KK)

More nittleskit from TheBloodyPulpit:
1. I'd not seen a white Rhone blend from Carol Shelton before, so grabbed this one to try. Every time I try a Carol Shelton wine, I scold myself for not paying more attention to her wines. Good winemaker/good wines.

If you see her Cucamonga Zin, however, make that a strong pass.

Yup, Jenise....I've had several of them. They speak strongly of Cucamonga hot-climate Zin. Pretty earthy/loamy and not a lot of fruit.
Not very attractive. Abe Schoener also makes Cucamonga Zin that I don't much care for.
But the Cucamonga Zin vines are very old stuff...so that's the attraction (plus the price) to winemakers for Cucamonga fruit.
