"Dakota Shy's 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) is a glorious wine. Ample, rich and inviting, but not at all overdone, the 2016 hits all the right notes. Blueberry pie, chocolate, licorice and spice flesh out as this finely sketched, classy Cabernet shows off its considerable appeal. Vineyard sources are Moulds, Paras, Red Hen, Skellenger, Round Pond and Heimark."
