  October 9, 2015 - 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.

  July 27, 2012 - 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.

  January 1, 2012 - Enjoyed w vegetarian lasagna stuffed w parmesan and mozzarella. A very good Dolcetto, high on acid and plays perfect w the pasta.

  April 11, 2011 - 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.
