Kathken Dolce Dessert Wine 375 ml
Ken took his wines to California's Copia last year, and this dessert wine was quite a hit. Made from Pinot gris grapes, it combines intense, creamy flavors with enough acidity to be refreshing while sweet. An Avalon Dessert Wine Club selection.

From the winery:
Our 2003 Dolce de Daneen received an 89 points in the Wine Spectator, the highest mark given a dessert wine June 2005 and I think we have an award winning wine here!
Making a dessert wine is such an amazing experience from the high Brix @ harvest to the juicing of the grapes to the immediate freezing of the juice to the defrosting @ 32 Brix three months later to the challenges of balancing the sugars & alcohol...I know you will not be disappointed in this vintage!
This unique dessert wine, with it's pale golden color, begins with a fruity nose and a wonderful sweet beginning that evolves into a nice tartness and finishes semi-dry. An incredible experience not to be missed! Once again, we dedicate this fabulous wine to our youngest daughter, Daneen! Without her assistance in ALL areas, we would not be growing, making wines, or selling our products (she designs all of our labels). Thank you, my sweet Daneen, for everything you continue to do!
Located between Canary Hill Vineyard and Carter Vineyard, Kathken's 40 acre vineyard produces small amounts of Estate Pinot noir, Pinot gris, and a dessert wine made from Pinot gris.
