Item Description

Enjoy three of Far Niente's famous late harvest dessert wines - 2001 (valued at $69), 2004 (valued at $75) and a 2007 (valued at $85). The Dolce, Napa Valley (California) 2007 ($85) is an ambitious attempt to demonstrate the ability to produce a worthy rival to Sauternes in the Napa Valley. It has largely succeeded although the market for premium domestic dessert wines is miniscule in the United States. Dolce 2007, a blend of 82 percent Semillon and 18 percent Sauvignon Blanc, has the structure and palate weight of a first-class Sauternes as well as the potential to improve with additional age. This Dolce exhibits bright tropical and citrus fruits, a subtle beeswax, honeycomb nuance, and exceptional balance. The listed price is for a 375ml bottle. Highest bidder wins.
