Late Harvest Zinfandel

Dashe Cellars has made Late Harvest Zinfandels since 1997. This luscious and balanced dessert wine has been one of their most notable wines. This particular Late Harvest Zinfandel is made from grapes grown on the Lily Hill Vineyard, owned by their friends, Scott and Lynn Adams, at Bella Winery in northern Dry Creek Valley. The steep slopes and rocky soil make the vines struggle to survive, which in turn help the vines create concentrated, complex grapes. One of the reasons they love this vineyard is the wonderful acidity of the grapes. The resulting wine is focused and clear–it’s never cloying, and always finishes with a crisp, clean, sweet-spicy note.
