SALE $69.99 Dolce 2017 375ml

JAMES SUCKLING REVIEW: Deep amber-colored wine with aromas of orange marmalade, apricot tart and honey followed by gingerbread, fruit tea, cardamon and toasted almonds. Very concentrated on the mid-palate with luscious sweetness and mouthwatering acidity that balances out the palate. Enchanting complexity and vitality with layers of exotic spices and flavors. Long and zesty finish. Lots of caramel and oranges. It shows great drinkability but will go much further with age.

 

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.
