Product Notes

Far Niente Dolce Napa Valley Late Harvest wine showcases Californian viniculture in a splendid form. An enticing dessert wine, it teases the palate with a blend of apricot, caramel and honey aromas. It has a richly layered, densely packed mouthfeel that speaks opulence at first sip. Underpinned by balanced acidity which drives its long, lingering finish, it perfectly bridges the sweet and the crisp. Beautifully golden in hue, this Napa Valley treasure indulges in decadence, thus aptly termed 'Dolce' or sweet. An exemplary testament to the late harvest varietal, it’s an indulgence certainly worthy of an evening’s grand finale.

Tasting Notes

The 2015 Dolce is fresh and fruitful, with aromas of orange, lime, and apricot along with sweet floral notes of honeysuckle. This Dolce lands on the palate with a coating and pleasing thickness that carries the citrus flavors long into the finish. Key lime pie comes to mind as bakery spices combine with a creamy texture and mouthwatering citrus flavors.
