Clay-limestone soil, afternoon sun exposure. Beefy and fruity and tannic.

I may be biased (I now sell this wine) but this is one of the best dolcetto examples on the market. Great with steak last night and versatile enough for pizza or antipasti.

One of the better dolcettos I’ve tried. Inky and full bodied, balanced by good acidity. Still going strong on night 3.

Needs a lot more age, but I'm not convinced it'd be worth the effort. Not impressed by the balance or favors in this Greene Grape Staff Pick.

Doesn't (yet?) have the balance of the delicious '11. The acidity seems elevated and the fruit holding back. I'd cellar for another year before checking in again.

Medium purple. Dried red cherries, bay leaves, and fried sage on the nose. Dried red currants, bitter melon, lightly charred oak on the palate. Medium + tannins, with light acidity, and a medium finish.
