Overview: Dolce represents the pinnacle of late-harvest winemaking. Dolce is the only American winery dedicated to producing a single dessert wine, made in the revered Sauternes style. Late harvest wines take time and an extraordinary level of focused attention. Beyond that, to create a wine with the qualities of Dolce, it takes land that seemingly was designed for this very purpose—land with a combination of gravel, volcanic ash, loam, and clay formed over thousands of years. At Dolce, we like to believe that whatever force was behind the formation of this land had these 20 acres at the southern end of the Napa Valley in mind for something truly special.
Tasting Notes: Flavors of apricot and orange marmalade are promised by the aroma of the 2017 Dolce and fully realized on the palate. The intense and bright fruitfulness of this vintage also has more subtle notes of butterscotch and baking spices. These lively flavors are carried by Dolce’s signature mouth-filling and oily texture, leaving the palate with a watering and satisfying finish!
