Tasting notes
The most expensive in the lineup, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Social Currency is Cabernet Sauvignon, aged in French oak, and there are just 300 cases produced. Its dense purple color is followed by a huge nose of blueberries, crème de cassis, white flowers, lead pencil, and candied violet-like aromas and flavors. It doesn't pull any punches on the palate and is full-bodied, has incredible ripeness, beautiful purity and precision, and a great finish. The tannin quality here is remarkable, and it's another huge yet graceful wine from this team that ticks all the rich boxes. If you haven't heard of Dakota Shy, now’s the time to get on this estate's bandwagon. This is a true "Wow" wine. 300 cases.

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Social Currency is a blend of top sites, bottled only in magnum. A rich, explosive wine, the 2019 possesses superb textural intensity and persistence. Super-ripe dark cherry, kirsch, rose petal and cinnamon are beautifully layered in this sumptuous, racy Cabernet Sauvignon from Dakota Shy.
The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Social Currency is a powerful wine. Inky dark fruit, chocolate, spice, crème de cassis and new leather flesh out effortlessly in the glass. The 2019 finishes with tremendous richness and unctuous resonance. It will be interesting to see where this goes.
