This is a great little #dolcetto. Pungent earth on the nose that blows off. Blue flowers, brambley boysenberry, dark cherry, chocolate deep into the nose.

Almost opaque in color. Very dark reds. Great density with solid color throughout to the outer rim.

The palate has fragrance again of blue flowers on the finish. The attack is a great balance of blueberries, integrated tannin and austerity. Tannin and acid play well together for a great texture. Opened 10/21/15 $12ish
