2024 DAKOTA SHY ROSÉ OF CABERNET

TASTING NOTES

Redolent of rose blossom, delicate strawberry and melon aromas. Delicious and complex in the mouth, with great purity to the flavors. Reveals a range of mineral, melon, strawberry, citrus, sweet cream and herbs and finishes with bright energy. Refreshing, complex and pure.

ROSÉ OF CABERNET

The Dakota Shy Rosé of Cabernet is a combination of direct-to-press Pinot Noir from the Carneros District of Napa Valley and saignée of Cabernet Sauvignon. In addition to the Pinot Noir juice, we “bleed” small volumes of juice from our freshly harvested and crushed Cabernet tanks and then ferment those in stainless steel barrels. Using a range of white wine yeasts and a long cool fermentation between 45 to 50 degrees – we craft a complex, dry and refreshing Rose.
