Napa Valley's Dolce Winery, owned by the folks at Far Niente, is the only winery in North America that is solely devoted to producing a single, late harvest wine. It is one of the few wineries in the world willing to make such a commitment, sharing a common philosophy with the great Sauternes producers of Bordeaux. 375ml "half bottle".
The 2003 Dolce Late Harvest 375ml is a blend of 66% Semillon and 34% Sauvignon Blanc. The rich, exotic fruit flavors and the honeyed botrytis character of the wine are complemented by toasty oak overtones. The intensity of the wine due to the sugar and rich flavors is balanced by a long, clean finish which holds out the promise the Dolce will prove ever more complex and enjoyable for many years to come.
