Winemaker Notes
Dark ruby red. Hugely aromatic, with a deep fruity backbone of black currant, black raspberry, plum, and lighter highlights of cranberry and pomegranate. Spicy notes of black pepper, tar, and earth. A lush, velvety, attractive wine with beautiful fruit flavors and balance. Entry is of bright fruit flavors of black currant and black cherry, pomegranate, tar and peppery spice. Rich minerality. Great acid balance, soft texture. Long, spicy, fruit-driven finish.
Blend: 42% Carignane, 18% Mourvedre, 16% Teraldego, 15% Tannat, 5% Zinfandel, 2% Barbera, 2% Petite Sirah

Tasting Panel
An eclectic blend of seven varieties with deep garnet color, spicy nose, that’s juicy, fresh and tangy with some earth tones and ripe berry fruit; don’t try to figure out what’s in it (you’ll never guess) just sit back and enjoy its generous style.
Dashe Cellars, founded in 1996, blends Anne's classic French winemaking training with the experience Michael has gained at Ridge Vineyards, Far Niente and Chateau Lafite-Rothschild. Together, the Dashes' strive to create authentic, site-focused wines that capture the charm and personality of top, independent vineyards throughout Sonoma County and beyond. In 2007, Michael and Anne started a new series of wines that they dubbed "Les Enfants Terribles", wines that were inspired by many of the French wines they admire, with balance, complexity, lower alcohols, beautiful fruit aromatics and velvety textures. These easy-to drink and expressive wines are a great complement to their lineup of classic "signature wines".
