Idlewild
Fox Hill Vineyard Dolcetto
Mendocino, North Coast, California, USA
Tannic and dry up front followed by a juicy succulent finish that's just a touch too sweet. Food friendly, easy drinking style, but not a timid wine.

One of my favorite new winemakers. Nice guy who makes great wine. This is just a breath of fresh air. On the nose, brambly red fruit and light raspberries. In the mouth, filling yet light red fruit and dusky, mouth-coating tannins, bright and refreshing. Long finish. A deft touch in winemaking. Really nice.

Fairly mild acidity and a tame tannin profile. Very smooth for a young wine (2014). I picked up on dark fruit, cherries and plums, with a dry finish. The only downside is a slight astringent feeling, something that may fade with a bit more age.

Red berries, delightful acid - and youthful tannins. Look forward to revisiting when older, though it's great now.
