The Syrah for our Rose was harvested on September 10, well ahead of previous vintages.

After pressing, the wine revealed it's racy personality in a fast and fabulous fermentation in stainless steel, where it then took a deep breath and rested quietly until the January 28 bottling. Because of her full-bodied character, this rambunctious Rose stands up well to grilled meats or vegetables, making her the perfect guest at summer picnics and barbeques, but try to save a few bottles for the holidays, as well!

Mietz Cellars

2004 Petit Verdot - Sonoma County Mietz Cellars

Some friends offered the Mietz's their Petit Verdot grapes that had just come of age. They jumped at the chance to try something new and creative by making a wine from a little known varietal. They are extremely pleased with the outcome. Although this Bordeaux varietal is elusive and hard to ripen it shows well in our warmer California climate.

WINEMAKING NOTES: This wine is medium dark ruby in color with an aroma of cedar, black fruits and toasty oak. The big payoff, however, is the mouthful which is rich and viscous, the trademark of petit verdot. The wine is still very youthful but should calm down and expand its textures and flavors with future aging. The expected life span is in the range of 15 years.

Dark, complex, mouthfilling, and rich, our 2006 Dry Creek Zinfandel is a classic example of why the Dry Creek Valley is so famous for intense zinfandels. The combination of black raspberry and chocolate flavors, combined with its velvety texture, make this a perfect wine for a wide variety of foods--from barbequed or grilled meats, to pastas with hearty sauces, or just by itself before a meal. This is the wine on which Dashe Cellars has made its reputation, and the 2006 vintage is so good that you'll find it absolutely irresistible! Robert Parker gave this wine a 90 points for the 2004 vintage, and we expect an even better response for the spectacular 2006 vintage.

2005 Zinfandel - Florence Vineyard, Dry Creek Valley Dashe Cellars

This is our first vintage from this excellent little vineyard on the northern tip of Dry Creek Valley. The grapes from this vineyard were planted from cuttings of the famous St. Peters Church clone taken from vines on the Rockpile Ranch The 2005 vintage in Dry Creek featured a picture-perfect ripening season warm and extended which produced one of our most classic Dry Creek zinfandel blends. Dry Creek zinfandels are famous for their balance of fruit, spice, and velvety texture, and our 2005 Dry Creek zin is a great example of that style. The wine is extremely dark, with flavors of black raspberry, chocolate, clove spice, and floral hints of violets and lavender. With its rich, velvety texture and long, complex finish, this is certain to be one of our most popular Dry Creek Valley zinfandels.

2005 Zinfandel, Old Vines, Todd Brothers Ranch, Alexander Valley - Dashe Cellars

The 2005 vintage was a classic vintage, with a long, extended, quite warm ripening period that allowed the vines to concentrate flavor in the grapes.

2003 Zinfandel - Todd Brothers Ranch, Alexander Valley - Dashe Cellars MAGNUM (1.5 liters)
We love this wine. It is one of the biggest, richest, and yet most balanced Todd Brothers zinfandel we've made yet. These old—vine zin vines produce a wine that is purple—black in color, with gobs of chocolate and enough blackberry and cassis fruit to make the hair on the back of your neck stand up. The texture is everything we strive for at Dashe Cellars: mouthfilling, creamy, velvety, and deep, with a long chocolaty finish. Yum.
