Dashe 2003 Big River Vineyard Zinfandel - Red Wine

Red Wine by Dashe from Sonoma County, California. Dashe doesn't know why the Zinfandel vines at the Big River Ranch - just a few miles southeast of the town of Healdsburg - produce such inky-black, concentrated wines, but they certainly recognized from the start that this vineyard was sure to produce one of their very best Zinfandels. These head-trained vines on the rocky, red, steep slopes consistently produce a huge wine: thick, flavorful, and seductively rich. By combining this Zinfandel with a small amount of Petite Sirah from vines on the same ranch, Dashe was able to create a small amount of a wine that they feel is one of their most stylish and balanced, as well as mouth-filling, creations.
