Product Description

Overview

Winery: Dashe Cellars

Dashe Zinfandel Louvau Vineyard is a complex blend of black raspberry and cherry fruit, lavender, anise, clove spice, velvety texture, very full-bodied with round chalky tannins, long sweet finish of black raspberry fruit and spice.

These 70-year-old vines are some of the best vines in the Sonoma wine country. They were discovered by John Louvau on his newly-bought property in 1989, hidden beneath a field of weeds and blackberry vines that had grown over the old grapevines. John nursed the vines back to health and now they produce some of the best grapes on the entire property.

"The 2007 Zinfandel Louvau Vineyard Old Vines possesses more raspberry, garrigue, pepper and lavender notes which almost smell like something from southern France or Spain. Slightly deeper than the 2008, but with more acidity and more structure, it is not as endearing and charming as the 2008, but it is big, rich, and intense. It should drink well for 5-6 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).
