About the wine
Decadent Old Vine Zinfandel - a barrel-aged specialty from the Dashes
- This top-shelf Zinfandel packs a velvety texture and layers of bold dark fruit flavors of blackberry and black cherry, while a regimen of barrel aging in French oak gives this wine a polished finish with a soft kick of spice.
- Winemakers Michael and Anne Dashe crafted this Zin from a pair of vineyards in the Sacramento and San Joaquin River Deltas, where older vines produce grapes with signature spellbinding complexity and depth of flavor.
- The Dashes are Zin visionaries who love sharing their elegant take on this classic varietal and showcasing California regions like Contra Costa that grow it best – now their Zin is yours with an exclusive $16 Angel savings!

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.
