2023 DAKOTA SHY CABERNET SAUVIGNON ATLAS
TASTING NOTES
Dried currant, cassis, mineral, graphite. Powerful flavors of mineral, grilled herbs, black cherry. Long, super complex and layered. This has a classic presence – refined and structured, poised over mountain gravel and power. Fantastic. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from a new source on Atlas Peak.
ATLAS
The Atlas Cabernet Sauvignon takes its name from the Titan god, Atlas, who bears the weight of the world and heavens on his shoulders. Now this bottling also has a connection to the Atlas Peak viticultural area. This remarkably powerful and nuanced Cabernet gets its character from this single vineyard on Atlas Peak, with impressively rocky volcanic soils and an unusual east facing aspect which benefits from cool morning sun and afternoon shading.
