The 2019 ‘The Comet’ Zinfandel Blend from Dashe Cellars is a rich, full-bodied wine combining Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, and Carignane from old vines in Sonoma County. It offers a vibrant reddish-purple color with aromas of black cherry, blackberry, chocolate, toffee, vanilla, black pepper, and coffee.

On the palate, it is smooth and velvety with bright fruit flavors balanced by cocoa, clove, and a spicy finish, supported by silky tannins and good acidity. The blend’s complexity and structure make it comparable to a nicely-aged Cabernet Sauvignon in its ability to complement savory dishes. This wine pairs beautifully with grilled meats or hearty, savory sauces, making it an excellent choice for a flavorful meal.
