2011 Dolce, Napa Valley

2011 Dolce, Napa Valley, Gift Box

Bottled in a limited 3-Liter format and tucked inside a gorgeous lacquered box, the 2011 Dolce is a rare jewel from our library. Butterscotch and citrus fruit aromas enriched with toasted caramel crème brûlée and vanilla on the nose. As promised by the orange and citrus blossom aromas, similarly driven flavors mingled with honeysuckle and butterscotch are foremost on the palate. This wine’s balance of sweetness and mouthwatering acidity offers a compelling sense of volume, and the coating texture progresses to a structured and lengthy finish.

Winemaker

Greg Allen

Late 2011 budbreak, cool spring, and mild summer led to Botrytis and a late harvest.

The 2011 growing season began in April with a delayed budbreak following a chilly, rainy winter. A cool, wet spring slowed development, and bloom and veraison occurred later than usual. The mild, rainy summer led to a low-yield crop that fully ripened in late September. Early October rain triggered a significant Botrytis bloom. Harvesting of concentrated fruit occurred over six passes from October 25 to 29, just before a season-ending storm in early November.
