Dashe Cellars has been chasing the soul of Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel since 1996, and the Reserve is where Michael and Anne Dashe pull out the best barrels from the best vineyards. Fermented with native yeasts at their urban winery in Alameda, this is old-school Dry Creek Zin: brambly, generous, but built with real structure rather than jam. It's the kind of bottle that reminds you why this grape became California's signature in the first place. A serious red that still knows how to have fun.

"Plump and generous, with jammy cherry and raspberry flavors laced with black pepper and briar patch accents. Ends with zesty tannins."

More about Dashe Cellars

Michael and Anne Dashe, a husband-and-wife team, made their first wine, a Dry Creek Zinfandel, in 1996. They source from single vineyards around Sonoma County, Alexander Valley, Potter Valley, Contra Costa and the Sierra Foothills, ferment with native yeasts in small lots, and use little to no fining or filtration. Zinfandel is the heart of it, alongside Carignane, Grenache, Petite Sirah and rosé. Serious California wines made without chasing trends.
