From the producer: Since 1996, Dashe Cellars has been making Zinfandel from the Dry Creek Valley. To celebrate our 20 years of making wine from the region, we have selected some of the best vineyards—and the best barrels from lots within the vineyards—to create a special Dry Creek Reserve. We wanted to show off the best characteristics of the Dry Creek Valley with an intensity, a complex spectrum of flavors, and a balance of pure fruit flavors and bright acidity which are typical for that area. This Reserve wine is a particularly complex, lovely, and fruit-forward wine—a classic, balanced Dry Creek Zinfandel.
The wine was fermented using only the natural yeast population on the grapes—our tradition at Dashe Cellars—and the
resulting wine shows off the terroir of the vineyards beautifully. The wine was aged for 13 months in 20% new French oak
barrels, and the remainder in older French oak barrels to gain the softness of oak aging without adding excessive oak flavors.
Before the final blend, we tasted all our barrels to select out only the best Zinfandel lots for this reserve wine. Finally, in our
blending trials, we added about 8% of Petite Sirah, for structure and long aging potential.

The East Bay has long been an epicenter of the of the Urban Wine Revolution and Michael and Anne Dashe were early pioneers. With advanced degrees in enology and complimentary wine making backgrounds, they founded Dashe Cellars in 1996. Located in Jack London Square, the Dashe's have been producing delicious, terroir driven wines for almost twenty years now.

Michael and Anne have worked for some of the world best wineries but it was Michael’s time at Ridge working with the great Paul Draper that has left its greatest mark on Dashe Cellars. Paul exposed Michael to the heart and soul of California’s great varietal: Zinfandel. They work with some of the best Zinfandel vineyards in the world (with a focus on the dry creek valley), crafting energetic elegant and downright delicious wines.

In making their wines, the Dashes’ adhere to a minimalist philosophy – native rather than cultivated yeasts, natural malolactic fermentation, little sulphur, light filtering, not much oak. Their releases could qualify for the popular if ambiguous designation of “natural wines,” but they shy away from that classification. They simply want to make the purest expression of Zinfandel.
