It’s time the kick down to door and let you in on a little secret: Cave Spring has a new addition to their Dolomite line-up and it’s a beauty. Made from 10-25 year old vines and 20-30% was aged a mere 6 months in older barrels. This is a wine that balances its fruit and wood admirably. The nose is vanilla, buttery-baked apple and some caramel notes. Palate is creamy, due to partial malolactic fermentation with a minerality that you can feel, as well as taste. Great acidity, especially for the year, and some green apple puree and butteriness. For the price it don’t get any better than this … it truly delivers. Price: $16.95 – Rating: **** 1/2
