Carol Shelton Paso Robles Coquille Blanc is a lush and complex Rhône-style white blend that combines richness with bright, layered aromatics. The nose reveals spicy pear, white peach, marzipan, and honeysuckle, evolving into a multidimensional bouquet of floral and nutty notes. On the palate, it's crisp yet creamy, with juicy pear and almond paste flavors balanced by refreshing acidity and a full-bodied texture. Crafted from Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, Viognier, and Marsanne, this “red drinker's white” pairs beautifully with shellfish, chicken, or pork in buttery, creamy sauces.

Description
Wine Tasting Notes Enticing 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.
With the exotic complexity and food friendliness of a white Rhone-style blend, it is a "red-drinker's white," a complex alternative to the more one-dimensional white varietal wines like Chardonnay and Sauvignon blanc. It is the perfect complement to its namesake shellfish, as well as chicken or pork dishes with buttery-creamy sauces. *Coquille is pronounced "ko-keel" and it is French for shellfish or scallop, like the scallop shells on the Shelton family coat of arms.
