Dashe Zinfandel Late Harvest, Dry Creek Valley

The 2007 vintage was a year tailor made for the creation of Late Harvest wines.
The long harvest season and moderate crop levels let us keep the grapes out on
the vine long into October, and the grapes were able to concentrate their fruit
evenly. When we finally picked the fruit, it was remarkably consistent—concentrated
and just slightly wrinkled, but not raisined.

This year’s wine is more reminiscent of our wildly popular 2005 vintage of
Late Harvest Zinfandel in its concentration and sweetness. The wine is extremely
aromatic with spicy black pepper, cassis, and black raspberry flavors. In the mouth,
the wine shows explosive raspberry and cherry flavors, a thick, viscose mouth feel,
