Rock dust, toned down wild berry, wild herbs, cherry, med-bodied, nice acid, finishing with fennel tops. Wish I had a killer burger. Oh wait, I do! Working magically. Thanks for the wine Harry :)

Exceptional for the price, well rounded and balanced, medium bodied but big fresh fruit flavor, mildly complex

Fascinating older California Dolcetto (vintage is correct) that still retains nice acidity and pretty redfruits, this is a “lost” bottle from my cellar I’m shocked I still had, of course Palmina is no more.
