NY Times' Eric Asimov | Revisiting Zinfandel From a Less Brawny Angle

This blend of a few of our favorite small-production vineyards is made to pair beautifully with a wide range of foods and flavors.  

A complex and luscious Petite Sirah, this wine is jet-black in color, with intense aromas of blackberry, plum and black pepper, while the palate finds cassis and blackberry fruit balanced with loads of fruit and peppery spice. Will easily improve over 10 years and last for 25 years or more.

The Reserve version of our classic Dry Creek Zinfandel is made by hand selecting individual barrels of our best lots to make this special blend. Selected for intensity, complexity & balance, this is consistently one of the finest wines made at Dashe Cellars!

The Comet is one of our biggest wines—structured almost like a Cabernet Sauvignon—perfect for pairing with grilled meats, savory stews, or holiday meals. It has a substantial core of Petite Sirah, which gives it a blue-black color and a beautiful fruit-filled midpalate, with hints of bright fruit from the added Carignane. It appeals to lovers of big, rich, mouth-filling wines.

A blend of equal quantities of Mourvèdre, Carignane, and Zinfandel, all from 128-year-old vines. Lovely velvety mouthfeel, black raspberry, pomegranate, cranberry, and peppery spice, rich minerality.

This beautifully structured wine with great acidity is balanced with complex fruit. The aromas of blackberry and cassis show off the true characteristics of cabernet sauvignon while the pomegranate, plum, and earthen flavors demonstrate what is possible with a cooler-climate vineyard. This Bordeaux-style Cabernet is Dashe Cellars through and through.

As typical of Petite Sirah, this wine is dark purple to black in color, has intense aromas of blackberry, coffee and peppery spice while the palate finds chocolate, roasted herbs, and licorice. Beautiful texture and a long, persistant finish. Will easily improve over 10 years and last for 25 years or more.

From the Lilly Hill vineyard, the steep slopes and rocky soils help these vines produce grapes that are concentrated and complex. Harvested a month later, the grapes they maintain their acidity, resulting in a focused and crisp dessert wine.
