Detailed Info, Previous Vintage Notes, Reviews:

From the winery:

This Dolcetto comes exclusively from our estate's Fault Line Vineyards, specifically the Jasper and Northwest blocks. The Jasper fruit lends intense, ruggedly structured wines with dark plum and graphite aromatics. The Northwest fruit adds pure strawberry tones and supple, round tannins.

The resulting wine has complex black fruit aromas, well balanced acidity, and a robust character with ample structure and concentration for near term cellaring.

This is best enjoyed over the next 3-4 years with hearty fare like proscuitto-spinach-ricotta ziti bolognese.
