Super aromatic with expansive layers of violets, black cherry, currant, dried herbs and ripe plum. Luscious and layered in the mouth where dark fruit, herb and cocoa flavors push on with endless tiers of flavor over a sumptuously textured core. Shows Moulds classic combination of density, power and luxurious texture. Totally delicious.

TASTING NOTES
THE MOULDS FAMILY VINEYARD
Steve and Betsy Moulds planted the 11-acre Moulds Family Vineyard in Napa Valley’s Oak Knoll District in 2000. Committed to excellence in farming and a strong relationship with Dakota Shy, Steve and Betsy ensure that their Cabernet fruit allows us to craft a standout wine every vintage.
Winemaker Tom Garrett, sources from 5 distinct blocks on Moulds property and has made a vineyard-designated Dakota Shy Moulds Family Vineyard bottling every year since 2012. The flavor range, texture and power make the Moulds Family Vineyard Cabernet a perennial favorite of ours and of our Dakota Shy family.
