Dashe
Dashe produces Zinfandel and Carignan from Dry Creek Valley, a region in Sonoma County known for age-worthy red wines and old-vine fruit. The winery's Single Vineyard Series focuses on site-specific expression: Rocky Ridge Vineyard and Louvau Vineyard Block 2 both yield Zinfandels that demonstrate the valley's capacity for structured, complex wines. The Les Enfants Terribles line explores alternative varieties, including an Old Vine Carignane from Evangelho Vineyard—a grape that thrives in warm, well-drained terrain and brings mineral tension and dark fruit character. Wine Enthusiast and Wine Advocate have rated these wines, reflecting their technical merit and balance. Dashe's approach emphasizes vineyard identity and varietal authenticity across a focused portfolio.
