About the wine
Specialty Reserve Zinfandel from dream-team icons Michael and Anne Dashe
- Elegant black cherry and plush raspberry flavors take center stage in this GOLD-winning Reserve Zinfandel. Barrel aging gives it a luxurious touch!
- With your funding, Michael & Anne wanted to showcase family-owned vineyards in the heart of Dry Creek Valley – home to some of the most revered Zinfandel in California.
- The Dashes are accomplished Zinfandel experts – now they’ve made this exclusive Reserve edition of the wine they know best!
Best before
The wine is perfect for immediate drinking, but thanks to its balance and brightness, it can also be aged for 10 years or more.
Serving advice
The wine will be at its best if opened and aired out for 30 minutes before drinking.
Food match
Any grilled meats or vegetables would be a perfect match. For example, it is superb with grilled hamburgers or any stews or dishes with savory sauces. You would be hard-pressed to find a wine that goes better with pasta or any food with tomato-based sauce. Personally, we love braised lamb shanks with any MAD Dashe Zinfandel.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Michael & Anne Dashe
-
Michael and Anne Dashe have worked with many top wineries — Ridge Vineyards, Far Niente, Chappellet, Château Lafite-Rothschild, Château La Dominique — but have developed style all their own. Elegant, balanced wines made with minimal additives, natural yeasts, and grapes from small family farms are their signature!
-
In their urban winery on Spirits Alley (an old Naval Airbase in Alameda, CA), Michael and Anne are using non-industrial winemaking techniques that allow them to highlight the fruit and emphasize the wine’s balance — crafting California Zinfandels in a unique style.
- Although the Dashes have both worked at many wineries famous for Cabernet Sauvignon, their reputation really began with world-class Dry Creek Zinfandel. “Angels, we’re ready to show you that a well-made Zinfandel can be an absolute picture of sophistication and beauty: visually, aromatically, texturally, and flavorfully,” Mike says.
