Winemaker Notes
Aroma: Intense wild strawberry and cherry fruit, vanilla, mint, spice
Taste: Very lively, sweet, and velvety on the midpalette. In the mouth, the intense strawberry and cherry fruit dominates, with vanilla, mint, walnuts, and clove spice highlights. The structure balances the sweet fruit with a firm acidity providing a very intense, lively flavor, and a long, mouth-coating finish.
Alcohol: 14.5% by volume
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".
