Our most preeminent wine dinner series returns this Winter — join us every Wednesday for a new, unique, and intimate wine dinner featuring in-depth conversations with those who pour their heart and soul into winemaking around the world.
The Del Dotto story began on their Rutherford Estate back in 1989. Over the last 30 years they have expanded and procured seven specially hand selected vineyard sites in six appellations located primarily in Napa Valley and Sonoma Coast.
Del Dotto is known for their rich, luscious, silky smooth style of winemaking that is a common thread through all the wines made at their winery. They showcase in their caves and on their barrel tasting experiences the incredible flavors that their hand selected French and American oak barrels impart onto the wines while still maximizing the terroir flavors that each single vineyard has to offer from the various appellations. To Del Dotto’s knowledge, they are the only winery in the world that offers current vintages on a futures program and bottles single vineyards cabernets out of single barrels which results in an array of flavors to choose from.
Dave Del Dotto coined the phrase, “The wine is the reduction sauce, and the barrel is the spice rack.”
This program results in extremely limited production, with some wines with only one barrel made for the world. Essentially, Del Dotto is creating what they call “Liquid Art.”
Very rare and unable to duplicate again. It is like a rare work of art or painting but instead of hanging them on your wall you pull them from your cellar, drink and consume them.
Currently, the Del Dotto footprint consists of 67 planted acres in Napa Valley and 41 planted acres on the Sonoma Coast. Varietals include Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, Syrah, Grenache, Mourvedre, Sangiovese, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and of course Cabernet Sauvignon. It took the last few decades for the Del Dotto family to find the ideal sites to produce world class wines with the goal to create a portfolio of wines that represent Napa Valley’s very finest.
Del Dotto is certified as a California Sustainable Winegrower, and — although not certified — they practice organically-farmed principles such as no chemical sprays or fertilizers, and all weeding performed by hand or by their resident sheep. The plants are meticulously cared for by professional vineyard workers to maintain the quality of the crop that defines the Del Dotto style and reputation.
