I don't quite understand the painting on the label of the monkey riding the fish, but this is a fantastic zinfandel. The wine is very full and intense, but not overbearing. This is the only wine I've seen around from Dashe Cellars, but I am going to have to find some more! From their web site, the tasting notes on the 2005 Zinfandel, Dry Creek Valley:
Dark, complex, mouthfilling, and rich, our 2005 Dry Creek Zinfandel is a classic example of why the Dry Creek Valley is so famous for intense zinfandels.
The combination of black raspberry and chocolate flavors, combined with its velvety texture, make this a perfect wine for a wide variety of foods--from barbequed or grilled meats, to pastas with hearty sauces, or just by itself before a meal. This is the wine on which Dashe Cellars has made its reputation, and the 2005 vintage is so good that you'll find it absolutely irresistible! Robert Parker gave this wine a 90 point score for the 2004 vintage, and we expect an even better response for the spectacular 2005 vintage.
