2019 T. Berkley Wines Late Harvest, Sonoma County, California, USA 375ml

A rare and expressive late-harvest wine from T. Berkley Wines, crafted to showcase richness, aromatic intensity, and balance rather than simple sweetness. The 2019 Late Harvest opens with layered aromas of honeyed apricot, candied citrus peel, ripe peach, golden apple, and wildflower honey, accented by hints of spice and dried fruit. The palate is lush and concentrated, with a silky texture and vibrant acidity that keeps the sweetness lifted, finishing long with notes of orange marmalade, orchard fruit, and a delicate mineral freshness.

ABOUT THE WINE

The 2019 T. Berkley Late Harvest reflects a thoughtful approach to dessert wine—allowing grapes extended time on the vine to naturally concentrate sugars, flavors, and complexity while preserving freshness. Sonoma County’s combination of warm afternoons, cooling maritime influence, and extended growing season creates ideal conditions for developing intense fruit character without sacrificing acidity.

On the palate, this wine balances decadent sweetness with precision, offering flavors of dried apricot, quince, honeycomb, citrus preserves, and subtle baking spice. Its concentrated profile and graceful structure make it enjoyable now, while its balance of sugar and acidity provides potential for further development in bottle.

A beautiful companion to fruit tarts, crème brûlée, blue cheeses, foie gras, almond desserts, or lightly spiced cuisine, it can also be enjoyed on its own as a contemplative after-dinner wine.
