Dashe Cellars 2018 Grenache 'Les Infant Terribles'

The Wine

This varietal wine is 100% Grenache from Clarksburg (where warm days and cool nights combine to preserve the wine’s freshness and bright fruit aromatics). Fermentation occurred with native yeasts prior to aging for seven months in a large, neutral oak cask (15X the size of a regular barrel!)

The finished wine was bottled without finind and with minimal SO2 additions.

13.8% ABV.  <400 cases produced!

TASTING Notes: Velvety texture.  Strawberry, raspberry, and pomegranate. Beautiful floral elements - lavender and violets. A long finish features red fruit, minerals and peppery spice.

The Winery

Dashe Cellars is a family-owned artisan winery located in the heart of the Urban Wine Country. After 15 years in Oakland's Jack London Square district, Dashe Cellars moved to Spirits Alley on the old Naval Airbase in Alameda, CA, not far from our Alameda store.

Founded by the husband and wife winemaking team of Michael and Anne Dashe, Dashe Cellars crafted its first vintage of Dry Creek Zinfandel in 1996. Since that time, the Dashe’s have focused on producing exceptional, single-vineyard wines using a traditional, non-industrial approach to winemaking.
