Riverview 2003 Fontana Dolce

Author :Michael Pinkus - Grape guy
DescriptionDescription  Smooth and supple tannins, a wonderful nose of sweet cherry and strawberry, and a taste of figs and plums with a byng cherry finish that’s medium long – are all features of this delicious sweetie. It enters the mouth sweet, but ends on a dry note. The Fontana Dolce is made from 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 20% Baco Noir from domestic and imported fruit. A claimed 3 on the sugar code makes it sweet, but not sickeningly so. It coats the mouth with its subtle sweetness, before ending with some dry tannin and an interesting replay in the mouth. Delicious, smooth and easy drinking – great with pasta and a wonderful base for Sangria. Chill a little and enjoy.
