"Now Open" The new Del Dotto Estate Winery and Caves on our Estate in St. Helena. The new Caves are lined with Italian marble and ancient tiles. The Venetian chandeliers and mosaic marble floors will bring us back full circle to our family’s origin of Venice, Italy.

DEL DOTTO TESTS NEW YEASTS FOR RED WINES FOR RELEASE IN 2006
We have proved to the wine consuming public that using the finest oak barrels in the world changes the flavor of wine. But did you know that using a different yeast changes the color, the mouth-feel, the nose, the texture and the finish? We have been experimenting and have found some expensive, rare, yeasts that make wine explosive!

DEL DOTTO IS THE FIRST TO USE NEW PATENTED WINE BARRELS
If you haven’t already done so, please come in and taste our new U-Stave, V-Stave and Nine oaks barrels!

DEL DOTTO RECEIVES HIGHEST RATINGS IN LAST TEN YEARS FOR 2002 VINTAGE!
In his February 2005 #157 Wine Advocate, Robert Parker gave our 2002 Rutherford Estate Cabernet 92-94 points and the David 94 points.
