Eos Dolcino Rosso
Winemaker Notes
Our Dolcino Rosso is a blend of Malbec and Petit Verdot from select
vineyard sites in the Santa Ynez Valley. It is a dark ruby color with
intense aromas of sweet ripe raspberries and chocolate. The palate is plush
and rich with flavors of jammy red fruit that fill every corner of your
mouth. Supple tannins and a hint of spice linger on the finish.

Vineyard Notes
Over the past two decades the Santa Ynez Valley has emerged as one of
the most celebrated winegrowing regions in California. Formed by the
Purisima Hills and San Rafael Mountains to the north and the Santa Ynez
Mountains to the south, it is the largest AVA in Santa Barbara County.
The cool, western portion of the Santa Ynez Valley is well suited to
Chardonnay and Pinot Noir while the warmer eastern section is home to
aromatic whites such as Viognier, Roussanne, Grenache, and Sauvignon
Blanc as well as bold reds including Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot,
Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.
