Dolce 2018 Late Harvest (375ml half bottle)

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".

98 Points Wine Enthusiast: "With this wine, Dolce cements its status as California's most consistently great dessert wine. This year's blend is 80% Semillon and 20% Sauvignon Blanc, and the grapes were infected with teh botrytis, resultikng in the fantastic sweetness.  Devastating in apricot, orange, pear,honey, vanilla, and creme brulee flavors, in an unctuous, viscous texture, with wonderfully clean acidity, it's certainly one of the greatest sweet California wines in recent memory."

96 Points James Suckling: "Delicious and aromatic Sauternes-like wine with a spicy, exotic character. It shows dried persimmon, candied peach, fresh honey, saffron and propolis aromas and flavors. Medium- to full-bodied, dense and creamy, with a long aftertaste. Very solid, balanced and focused. Really perfumed and flavorful."
