VARIETALS
2019 CABERNET SAUVIGNON
Cabernet Sauvignon - Aromas of cedar and brambleberries. Full-bodied, with well-integrated tannins in a dense fruit structure. Like a man of good muscle tone, comfortable in the old moccasins he wears, smiling in anticipation of food roasting on a wood fire grill.
2020 CABERNET FRANC
Cabernet Franc - Like most parents we try to love our kids equally although in reality there is always one that touches our heart. She’s the first to laugh and the first to cry and can freely speak her mind with spunk. Once off the roller coaster she is always the first to get back on. Mixed berry fruit, with a dose of sweet vanilla and toast. Medium bodied, with firm velvety tannins.
MERLOT
Merlot - Hints of wild blueberries and currents in a helix of oak and earth. Tannins caress the tongue while leaving a rich fruit finish. Merlot can be a bridge for the generations. The Oldster realizes patience as an aid for listening, and the Youngster realizes respect from being heard. A blend of 2019 and 2020 vintages.
2020 PINOT NOIR
Pinot Noir - Pinot Noir has a presence that is very seductive. Black cherry aromas and flavors are indeed there, but tune your senses… there is a whole lot more. Oh the fickle femme fatale! Some are like a cold shower and others give you multiple orgasms. They are always worth a try.
SOLD OUT
2020 SYRAH
Syrah - Masculine yet romantic. Intelligent but fun. This one gets you at hello.
2019 ZWEIGELT
Zweigelt - Up-Tight? Feeling Edgy? Need some answers? Choose the path that helps you see. Put some Zwei in your glass and Gelt with it.
SOLD OUT
2019 SAPERAVI
Saperavi - A real package deal - Deep color, vibrant aroma, powerful flavor and smooth dense tannins.
BLENDS
2019 SYNERGY
Synergy – A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah creates a complex wine with layers of blackberries, black pepper and toasty oak. A great attitude, focus, and the right amount of humor result in a team that overachieves.
HARMONY
Harmony - This wine trio is an equal blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc that sings with pleasure. Like a doubles tennis match, there are more bodies – sometimes complementing, sometimes highlighting – but always making it interesting.
2012 LEMBERGHINI
A rich plum color, deep bramble berry flavors and an oomph of oak make this a wine to please the pickiest of palates.
SOLD OUT
2013 BEYOND ROSÉ
Beyond Rosé - Whoa, full body, complexity, long finish, dry and refreshing! Serve chilled to complement spicy foods or to watch the day go by. This wine is as close to a white as Shalestone will get. Zwiegelt/Lemberger blend.
SOLD OUT
RED LEGEND
Red Legend - In the toolbox it is the crescent wrench, in the kitchen it is the salt and pepper, and in a relationship it is the love. Red Legend gets it done. A healthy dose of Cabernet Franc and Lemberger and whatever else is in the Shalestone cupboard.
2020 CROSS-ROWS
Cross-Rows - A perfectly integrated neighborhood. Six Rows, randomly inter-planted with Merlot, Syrah and Lemberger, harvested and fermented together. A true blend made in the vineyard.
