October 5, 2009 - A little fruity and boring when first poured but it went nicely with arabiata and as it got some air a nice mineral component developed.

I was a bit concerned about the seal but the wine tasted fine. Medium-bodied with plenty of nice sour cherry fruit and good acidity. Paired well with marinated pork tenderloin on the grill.

October 15, 2008 - Impressive dolcetto. Went wonderfully with italian marinara. Blast of goji berry, carrot juice, and cherry juice on the midpalate. Great acidity and weight. Denser than what I was expecting. Need food, but can appreciate without food. Great italian alternative to Chianti.

March 29, 2008 - Pop n pour. Ageing gracefully with bright, juicy fruits. Textbook Dolcetto d'alba and a terrific food wine. With such terrific structure and acidity, I would not be afraid to drink thru 2011 - perhaps beyond. Approx $21. recommended
