Deeper purple than I'd expect. Dark fruit and spice on the nose. Black cherries, blackberries and Figs on the nose. Well balanced, with smooth integrated tannins. Luscious wine--to me not a traditional Dolcetto. More New world. But very nice and drinkable.

Dark, berry-plummy palate carries a touch of amaro-like bitterness. Chocolate-smooth sides, without being too spoofed. Not bad, but not memorable. Brought this to Abbey's dinner party and sipped it watching the opening of the London Olympics.

Very decent. Nice nose has some funky earthiness, Italian herbs, sweet dark berries and a bit of peppery spice. The palate was simple, but nicely proportioned, with good acidity accompanying more berries, cherries and then some warm spices and an earthy mineral tail.

A dry red. Decent finish. Held up nicely. No fruit.

Enjoyed w vegetarian lasagna stuffed w parmesan and mozzarella. A very good Dolcetto, high on acid and plays perfect w the pasta.
