A seamlessly smooth Cabernet Sauvignon. Dashe is making some of the most compelling wines from CA. This one is sourced from a biodynamic vineyard, yields are very low (2 tons per acre). It's made with native yeast, aged in oak for two years (20% new). The color is purple/black, fully extending to the rim of the glass. The aroma and flavors are dark fruit, blackberry, plum, cracked pepper and smoke from the oak aging. The tannins are well integrated, there is no coarseness or edge. It drinks well from time that the cork is pulled, although it benefits from some aeration. It holds up very well into day two. Serve with red meats off the grill. I had it with Peruvian beef heart. Total production 339 cases. Drink now through 2028.
