Dolce (375ML half-bottle) 2016
Dolce was founded in 1989 by the three partners of Far Niente as they started pursuing the goal of creating world-class late-harvest wine in the Napa Valley. Dolce devotes itself exclusively to the production of a single late-harvest wine blended from botrytised Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc.
Winemaker Notes: Dolce’s style goals are foremost to express the fruitfulness of the vintage nuanced with spice, for the aromas, flavors and finish to be lifted, reminiscent of one another, and enduring, and for the finishing impressions to compel a second sip. The 2016 vintage exemplifies all those traits beginning with aromas of apricot, pear, honeysuckle, all-spice, and vanilla. Similar fruitful flavors follow the oily and lively entry but this vintage has flavors also suggestive of a treat along the lines of crème brûlée and bread pudding. The texture is particularly watering on entry carries the flavors into its long, juicy and satisfying finish!
Blend: 88% Semillon, 12% Sauvignon Blanc
This is a superb sweet wine from America with candied apples, pears, pineapple, and hints of spices. Some flint. Dense and spicy. Really sweet and flavorful. Dried apricot at the end. The real deal.
