Dolcetto
Filter
Dolcetto in Italian, translates to “little sweet one”, and is a red wine grape from the Northwest region of Italy. Unlike its name, Dolcetto does not produce sweet wines, but the name rather reflects the low acid nature of the grape. Doletto is a dark skinned grape that is fairly simple to grow and ripens early. While the Dolcetto grape is common in the Italian Monferrato hills and the Piedmont region, it has grown in popularity in Australia and the United States. In Piedmont, Dolcetto is known as Ormeasco, and thus used in the production of Ormeasco di Pornassio. Nebbiolo and Barbera are first and foremost in Piedmont, followed up by the use of Dolcetto. It is typically grown in cooler climates, which helps retain acidity, and in high elevation. Dolcetto will produce a very fruit-forward wine with rich red or purple colors. The palate will be spicy and earthy with flavors of almond or walnut. They have relatively low acidity, and soft tannins, however it can leave you wanting more in terms of aroma. Dolcetto is very easily consumed young and fresh, which gives an advantage over the more popular Nebbiolo grape. Dolcetto can be cellared for up to four years.

From the most recognized Napa Valley red blend comes a distinct, new wine. Made in the same iconic style as The Prisoner Red Blend, we proudly introduce The Prisoner Cabernet Sauvignon. Redefining taste once again.
On the nose, blackberry, currant, and plum are layered with dried, crushed herbs and licorice. On the palate, cedar, vanilla, nutmeg, and toasted coconut lead as plum and dried blackberries culminate in a lush, full mouthfeel and a lengthy, balanced finish.
Chef Brett recommends pairing The Prisoner Cabernet with Grilled Ribeye or Aged Gouda Cheese.
Round Pond Estate 'Kith & Kin' Cabernet Sauvignon is made with 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Petit Verdot, 6% Malbec.
Bursting with bright aromatics of cassis and crushed raspberry, they are balanced with an earthy hint of dried sage and clove. The wine offers an energetic play between acid and tannin on the front palate with notes of blackberry and violet with a touch of cocoa on the mid-palate. Fine-grained tannins follow throughout each sip leading to a long, rich, finish.
Review:
Big and rich, this deeply saturated and mouth-filling wine overflows with ripe, plump blueberries, black currants and black cherries accented with mint and dark chocolate. It’s delicious enough to drink young.
