What the web is saying

Shelton Cabernet Franc is praised for its full-bodied, rich profile with complex flavors of vanilla, pepper, and red fruits. While some appreciate its smooth finish and affordability, others find it lacking in intricacy. Notable for its earthy oak and tart cherry notes, it pairs well with comfort foods. However, opinions vary, with some finding it undrinkable despite decanting.

Voss Experts4.4

The Shelton Cabernet Franc presents a deep garnet hue, offering an aromatic bouquet of ripe black cherry, bell pepper, and subtle graphite, underscored by a whisper of violet. On the palate, this wine reveals a medium-bodied structure with finely grained tannins and a vibrant acidity that enhances its freshness. The flavor profile is layered with notes of red currant, green peppercorn, and a hint of cedar, leading to a lingering finish with a touch of minerality. This wine exemplifies the varietal's potential in cooler climates, showcasing finesse and balance, making it a commendable choice for discerning palates.
