I liked this a lot more than a prior vintage that was around 15% ABV. This is refreshing, earthy and very Italian tasting. I’ll be back for more in future vintages.

2010 Palmina Dolcetto - USA, California, Central Coast, Santa Barbara County (3/30/2012)
Definitely channeling the Italian character more than the prior vintage or two I’ve had. At first had an herbal aroma similar to ‘lesser’ Piedmont reds, like Barbera. Refreshing acidity, mid-weight, fairly simple in tart fruits and herbal flavors, short finish, mild tannin. Rose and herbaceous bouquet. Good stuff, exactly what it should be.
