Beautifully aromatic with citrus, white peach, pear and tropical blossom notes. The palate is broad and creamy yet lifted by bright acidity, showing layers of citrus, peach, herb, and mineral. Lush, vibrant, and long on the finish with subtle brioche and herb and mineral complexity.
2025 DAKOTA SHY ROSÉ OF CABERNET
TASTING NOTES
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.
