2022 Dolcetto, Lost Hills Ranch

The 2022 Dolcetto is a balance of bright and lifted aromatics against a taute and lithe structure. The elevage in large format Slovenien oak Botti pushed this contrast further by retaining freshness while also filling out the mouthfeel and structure. The nose shows hightoned spices, red cherry, earth, roses, almond, and anise. The mouth is medium bodied with freshness and firm tannin on the finish. It is joyful and fully serious all at once. Only 328 cases produced.
