The Experience, Alameda: Dashe Cellars Zin in the News
The Experience: Zinfandel making a comeback? Here’s what Ray Isle says about Alameda’s Dashe Cellars in Food & Wine’s article California Zinfandel is Making a Comeback and it’s Better Than Ever, where he argues that California Zin is shedding its old reputation of being heavy and high-alcohol as wine makers now are producing sleek, streamlined and food friendly red wines with lower alcohol content. “2023 Dashe Cellars Vineyard Select Zinfandel ($25) Mike Dashe founded his eponymous winery in 1996 and has been producing Zinfandels like this one ever since: silky, juicy, and delightful, in this case with minty boysenberry flavors. Don’t look for wild complexity here; seek out his reserve and single-vineyard wines for that. It's just Zin being utterly charming.
