Product Description

Overview

Winery: Dashe Cellars

Dashe Cellars Dry Creek Zinfandel is made with 95% Zinfandel, 5% Petite Sirah
The wine was aged for 10 months in a mixture of French oak (30%) and American oak barrels (70%) - 15% new oak
"Crisp and juicy, with layered raspberry and cinnamon aromas and briary tannins that sneak in."

"The 2009 Zinfandel Dry Creek has an attractive wild strawberry and black cherry nose with a hint of roasted herbs. There is tangy acidity and almost Provencal garrigue notes, good pepper and spice. It is a medium-bodied, attractive wine, with elegance and character that should be drunk over the next 3-4 years.
Readers looking for Zinfandel made with a Pinot Noir sensibility should check out these efforts from Dashe Cellars."

The Dashe Cellars Estate

Dashe Cellars were founded in 1996 by Anne and Michael Dashe, a husband and wife winemaking team who created a small winery that focuses on wines from Sonoma County. Since Anne's winemaking origins are French and Michael's are American, they wanted to elaborate distinctive wines that offered the best from both of their countries of origin.

The Dashe Cellars Vineyards

They have decided to concentrate on single vineyard sites - to locate small independent vineyards and create wines that reflect the vineyards unique soil, climate, and regional characteristics. They use traditional fine winemaking techniques such as small lot fermentations, the use of indigenous yeast on the grapes to conduct the fermentations, little or no fining or filtration, and small barrel aging. All the wines are made, tasted, and blended by the production team of Michael, Anne, and Matt Smith (enologist).
