Floral nose. Bright tannins and acid-forward. Cherry skin. Mineral and expected lightness for a Dolcetto. Paired well with cod and Brussels sprouts. From Orleans wine shop.

Good density with little rim variance. Palate is straight forward with long deep black berry/raspberry tones and a touch of subtle earth/mushroom. Little tannin and lightly structured. Juicy and robust overall. Piedmont's version of a porch pounder. Opened 3/7/15
