Monarch Mine Vineyard Grenache Blanc 2015

Preview of our new vintage to be released under the "Les Enfants Terribles" label. A huge leap from previous vintages. Round mouthfeel, honeysuckle, white peach and a hint of licorice spice on the finish with insane acidity. Wowww — 8 years ago

Château Tirecul La Gravière

Monbazillac Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend 2003

Legendary wine created by Claudie and Bruno Bilancini in the grand cru of Monbazillac. Native yeasts (like the Dashe) and 40% Muscadelle, 50% Semillon, & 10% Chenin Blanc. Hand harvested with extreme selections. Good balanced acidity and for all those Sauternes-lovers. Lush and glorious, and not too sweet for a dessert wine. — 8 years ago

Ancient Vines Bedrock Vineyard Red Blend 2013

New release of our Ancient Vines blend (⅓ each Zinfandel, Mourvèdre & Carignane) from Bedrock Vineyard. All 3 varietals play well together and add their own distinct flair, making for a red that's full-flavored yet nuanced. I would pair it with ribeye steaks, grilled lamb or braised short ribs. — 9 years ago

Same here and have some bottles of '12 stashed at home. Age worthy, me thinks.

Ridge Vineyards

Monte Bello Ridge Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon 1996

Almost 20 years old and drinking just fine. Dark blue fruit, silky tannins and dusty earth and mineral on the finish. Michael Dashe had me taste it blind...I got fairly close, but guesses too young! — 9 years ago

Forgot to mention that Mike made this wine, in the same year he and Anne made their first vintage of Dashe Dry Creek Zin. Busy guy, that boss o' mine!

Bedrock Vineyard Zinfandel 2012

This wine is singing right now. It's perfumed with floral, berry, spice, and kiss of roast coffee aromas. On the palate it's fresh with a velvety texture and well integrated tannins and blackberry compote, black cherry, a bit of blueberry and spice flavors with a long finish. — 8 years ago

Block 2 Louvau Vineyard Zinfandel 2014

Double the mL double the fun. Can't wait to release this Wine Club exclusive magnum later this week! In the words of Anne Dashe, a "slutty" wine, with fresh plum, pomegranate reduction, and blueberry in all the right places. It'll take all my willpower to hold this for a few years (aka never happening). — 8 years ago

Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Quite the baby since it's not even released yet, but has plenty of potential. From 40+ year-old vines from Todd Bros Ranch in red volcanic soils, just bottled last month after 18 in French barriques. Minerality of the soil jumps out of the glass right away, but needs air to let the fruit and tannin really come into play. — 9 years ago

Mike and Anne say that the 05 is drinking very well now, it wasn't as big as the 04, but very well-balanced and integrated.

Dry Creek Valley Dry Grenache Rosé

2012, when the Grenache rosé was simply called "Vin Gris" and it is developing more savory notes with bottle age. Cranberry and tart cherry, with a touch of baking spice on the finish. Acid still plenty zippy! — 9 years ago

I wish they were not saignee, and picked a wee bit earlier, its always a tiny bit ripe in the mid palate for my personal taste. My GF who loves Tavel loves this style however
Mark Lindzy

Mark Lindzy Influencer Badge

Yes Mike said that they left this on the skins a bit long, as it's more Tavel than Provence as was intended.
