Idlewild Dolcetto Fox Hill Vineyard

Planted in the Fox Hill Vineyard in Mendocino this is a rare gem from California. The plantings were inspired by the owner, Lwell Stone who decided to follow his passion and plant what he was most interested in. many trips to Italy turned to inspiration and the wild spectrum of varieties began to take root. Dolcetto does have a serious side that when shown in balance highlights the grape's ability to be compelling.

As with prior releases, this is a partial skin ferment. This wine has depths of a light red or orange wine, but it drinks more like a white. Chamomile, persimmon, citrus peel, and white pepper highlight the aromas.
