Surprisingly wonderful dolcetto. Dark cherries, earth, and vanilla on the nose. Medium body and soft balance. Paired amazingly with steak tartar.

A more serious Dolcetto than I have had, harsh though definitely needs more time. But could be good

Serious, dense Dolcetto. Still quite tannic for 2013 but balanced with viscosity and a mullberry/plum character. Nose has a wonderful citrus overtone.
