Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Purple with reddish hues. Aromas of blackberry, cassis, plum, chocolate, coffee, graphite, pepper, and subtle floral notes of violets. One of the most structured and balanced Todd Vineyard wines we’ve ever made. A big wine with a sensuous texture. Beautiful entry of cassis and blackberry, luscious texture and a firm acid structure, earth and minerals, garrigue (forest floor), and silky tannins. Long, sweet, fruit finish of black currant, peppery spice, chocolate, and blackberry fruit.

Professional Ratings

  • 90
    This is a soft, smoothly integrated red, blended with 2% Petite Sirah and aged 18 months in year-old puncheons. Herbal and earthy with a touch of reduction, it offers layered flavors of blackberry, cherry, black pepper and dried herb.
  • 90
    Soft and plush, with plump raspberry, bitter chocolate and licorice flavors that finish with zesty tannins. Drink now through 2026.

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".

Unapologetically bold, spice-driven and jammy, Zinfandel has secured its title as the darling of California vintners by adapting well to the state's diverse microclimates and landscapes. Born in Croatia, it later made its way to southern Italy where it was named Primitivo. Fortunately, the imperial nursery of Vienna catalogued specimens of the vine, and it later made its way to New England in 1829. Parading the true American spirit, Zinfandel found a new home in California during the Gold Rush of 1849. Somm Secret—California's ancient vines of Zinfandel are those that survived the neglect of Prohibition; today these vines produce the most concentrated, ethereal and complex examples.

Alexander Valley Wine

Sonoma County, California

View all products

Nearly a northern extension of Napa Valley, Alexander Valley starts just north of the small, Knights Valley, and is just a few minutes drive from the Napa town of Calistoga. It is Sonoma County’s hottest AVA. But the Russian River, which runs through the valley, creates cooler pockets and its soft, alluvial soil is ideal for grape growing, especially Cabernet Sauvignon. In fact, some believe that Alexander Valley Cabernets truly rival the best from Napa Valley and many of the heavy-hitter producers have largely invested here.

In addition to Cabernet Sauvignon, which makes up over 50% of plantings, Merlot and old vine Zinfandel thrive here. Ample, fleshy Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc dominate white wine production. Some old-vine plantings of Grenache have also been discovered and more recent experiments with Sangiovese and Barbera show great promise.
