Complex and alluring, with aromas of grilled herbs, thyme, sage, mint, and dark berries layered over notes of cassis and graphite. Broad, mouth-filling, and powerful on the palate, it reveals dense layers of black cherry, plum, cocoa, and mineral wrapped in fine-grained tannins. Refined and structured yet plush in texture, it finishes long and intricate with lingering dark fruit, spice, and savory herbs.
2024 DAKOTA SHY CABERNET SAUVIGNON ATLAS
TASTING NOTES
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.
