Planted in 1958, the Todd Brothers Ranch produces some of the finest zinfandel grapes in Sonoma County. Approaching their 60s, these distinguished vines grow in bright red volcanic soil on steep hillsides. The head-trained vines undergo extensive canopy management and leaf pruning to produce yields of less than three tons per acre. The Zinfandel fruit from the Todd Brothers Ranch is incredibly complex, showing intensity and layers that, at times, are Cabernet Sauvignon-like in their stature.

At Dashe, we are committed to partnering with some of the finest small growers in Sonoma and Mendocino counties and beyond. We focus on crafting wines with a distinctive sense of place and look for that perfect balance of steep hillside vineyards, older vines, and vigor-reducing growing conditions. With almost two decades partnering with many of our growers, we work together to limit yields and reduce or eliminate the use of chemicals in the vineyards. In addition, all harvesting decisions are made by Michael Dashe.
