Cooperage:
As has been tradition with this annual treat since it’s inception in 2002, this wine is aged for a minimum of 20 months in neutral oak. Typically we use a blend of 3 year old Hungarian and American oak to impart only subtle notes of vanilla and wood.

Winemaker’s Notes:
Sweet like candied blackberries, Dolce Vita invites closer examination with a nose that boasts reduced berry, blackberry jam and old fashioned candy. A luscious, coating mouthfeel opens to cherry, candied dark fruit and jam flavors. A lilting-sweet finish beckons for another sip.
