Dolce Winery Late Harvest Wine 2001
Dolce Winery The 2001 Dolce was aged on its primary fermentation lees for two-and-a-half years in new French oak, resulting in a richer sense of earthy complexity behind the unctuous fruit-driven style of Dolce. Each of the 105 barrels were regularly tasted and evaluated over the course of extended aging. Eighty-two of these barrels, reflecting the highest quality and the classic Dolce style, were selected for the master blend. The qualities that stand out in this vintage are the exceptionally honeyed Botrytis character that naturally follows such a growing season, the fruity aromas of dried apricot and orange rind, and accents of minerals and earthiness. The coating and inviting entry is followed by a rounded, balanced and mouth-watering palate of pear and tropical fruits. Our experience with previous vintages suggests that this compelling blend will continue to develop its bottle bouquet and be enjoyable for years to come. Wine Enthusiast This Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc blend continues the Dolce tradition of being among the finest dessert wines in California. The wine as usual is rich and unctuous, a glyceriney sweetie packed with apricot, peach, honey, vanilla and crème brûlée flavors offset by crisp acidity. It’s sweet, but not too sweet. Score: 93. —Steve Heimoff,Wine Spectator An exotic style, this dessert wine offers rich, elegant dried apricot, honey, spice and subtle tobacco and cedar notes, all of which add up to a wonderfully complex aftertaste that echoes toasted marshmallow flavors. Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc. Drink now through 2012. 2,000 cases made. Score: 92. —James Laube, November 15, 2005.All sizes are 750mL unless otherwise noted.
