Tasting
Notes: At five
percent residual sugar, this full-flavored Zinfandel is seductively sweet
without becoming cloying. Although it lacks complexity, with flavors
that hint of berries and cocoa, this wine would make a wonderful accompaniment
to any pudding or dense chocolate dessert. (Date tasted 08/26/00)
Profile:
This is a winery with an impressive pedigree. Both owners/winemakers
Anne and Michael Dashe earned their enology degrees before racking up
experience at such respected establishments as: Cloudy Bay; Chateau
Lafite Rothschild; Chateau La Dominique and the godfather of Zinfandel
producers, Ridge Vineyards. Michael Dashe clearly learned a thing or
two about making great Zinfandel, considering that at only four years
old, Dashe is already rising in the rankings of world-class Zins.
