Appearance: Deep, cherry red; full-bodied
Nose: Vibrant, smells juicy, cherry, candy apple sweet
Taste: Juicy cherry; huge burst of fruit, but with a lite texture
Finish: Lingers smoothly with sweetness on the tongue
Overall Impression: This Dolcetto definitely goes right up there with some of the other great Cabs & Malbecs I have tried. The explosion of fruit boldness is something I love most about reds, but it is so lite. It is not heavy, so it seems like the perfect summer, stand alone wine. It actually has a delicious, mouth-watering flavor.
