Dakota Shy Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Two Time Top 100 Wine in the World from Wine Spectator
Tasting Notes
Gorgeous mouthful of classic, textured CabernetSauvignon. This is rich and powerful but also refined. Wonderfully complex and
layered on the palate with a mid palate presence of silky dark fruits, mineral and baking spice. Long, impressive and totally delicious finish. The 2023 Napa Cab is a knock out.
