2007 Dolce, Napa Valley

2007 Dolce, Napa Valley
  • 96 pointsWine Enthusiast

The 2007 Dolce is youthfully fruity with layered aromas ranging from fresh-baked lemon bars to honey and caramel. In the mouth, the citrus aromas shift to peach and pineapple flavors. The silky entry evolves into a creamy and coating texture that is rich yet balanced through the finish. Concentrated and fruit-driven, this vintage will reveal additional layers of aroma and flavor along with a perfumed bottle-bouquet in the years to come.

An ideal growing season in 2007 leading to perfect Botrytis development.

The 2007 growing season featured ideal temperatures and normal rainfall, sparing the Dolce vineyards from frost damage. By late September, the grapes were fully ripe but remained on the vine for two months to allow for significant Botrytis development. Gentle fall drying conditions concentrated sugars and flavors to Dolce’s standards. Over 11 days in November, the vineyard team meticulously harvested the shriveled fruit berry by berry, finishing just before December’s rainstorms.

“Another spectacular Dolce, which continues the brand's string of successes and further emphasizes its standing as one of California's greatest- white dessert wines. It lacks a touch of the concentration found in the 2006, but it dazzles nonetheless with intricate, sweet flavors of honey, butterscotch, golden-apricot nectar, orange marmalade, pineapple tart, vanilla and buttered toast. And all that is brightened by crisp acidity. Terrific to drink now, and it will hold in a proper cellar for a decade. The blend is Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc.”
