Shelton Madison Lee Blend

[tandkvd]

I have been wanting to try this NC wine for a while now, but it has been 12-14 bucks and I just didn't want to pay that for a wine produced less than 100 mi. away. But Harris Teeter had it for $9.99 today.
It is a blend of 33% Merlot, 30% Syrah, 27% Sangiovese, 6% Mourvedre & 4% Pinot Noir. It is the best NC wine I have had so far. The smokeyness of the Sangiovese realy comes through. A bold and complex wine to be not that dark of color, sort of a translucent burgandy.
I was told this weekend that Shelton's Cab. won a blind tasting against some of Californias best Cabs. in Calif.
