2022 DAKOTA SHY CABERNET SAUVIGNON T-E-N
TASTING NOTES
At the base of Pritchard Hill in Napa Valley, Dakota Shy blends rich history with modern winemaking. Established in 1836, our estate features redwoods, magnolias, and olive groves. Acquired in 2014, it now produces exceptional wines from Napa Valley’s premier vineyards. Experience the perfect fusion of historical charm and winemaking excellence.
T-E-N
The T-E-N Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of our valley floor vineyard sites. We look to the valley floor for plush texture and fruit – and that is clearly evident in the 2021 T-E-N.
