Napa Valley
2008 Dolce, Napa Valley
Each vintage of Dolce Napa Valley is hand-picked, not just cluster by cluster, but berry by berry, and spends nearly three years in barrel. The 2008 Dolce offers aromas of spiced poached pear, peach cobbler and orange marmalade. The entry is honeyed, followed by creamy flavors which echo the aromas on the nose. The smooth and coating texture leads to a mouthwatering finish that compels a second sip.

An ideal growing season in 2008 with no frost damage and warm summer.
The 2008 growing season was ideal with no serious frost damage and a warm, dry summer. Just over an inch of rain in late October kick-started the Botrytis, and by the third week of November, we had achieved sufficient concentration of flavors and sugars to begin harvest. We made one pass and finished after five days of meticulous and discerning single-berry harvesting.
