Even more enjoyable & affordable is their #Dolcetto! Plums, meat, & chalk. Would be even better if finish lingered a bit longer.

This is supposedly a great example of dolcetto, but I found it one dimensional. Smells like blackberry pie with a side of dirt. I should mention I have never found a dolcetto I like.

Pretty dry. Moderate aftertaste. Cherry is prominent. The contrast between first and last taste within a swig is a bit too big.
