Dakota Shy Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2019
This velvety smooth Cabernet blend dazzles with dark fruit and silky tannins melded together harmoniously for a supremely impressive wine experience now through the next decade. In fact, this boutique discovery reminds us of opulent favorites trading for $200 – $300 per bottle (no surprise once we discovered the – confidential – vineyard sources in Napa!). The bouquet boasts captivating aromas of espresso and herbs that lead to a lavish experience featuring profound layers of sultry, dark black fruit and baking chocolate complimented by seamlessly integrated French oak. Thanks to deftly balanced tannins, this relative bargain may be enjoyed tonight (decant ½ hour) and merits a 97+ rating now and perhaps higher over the next decade. Bravo.
