Score 93/100 · Drink 2024-2038, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Jan 2021

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) is a terrific introduction to these wines. Creamy, ample and so expressive, the 2018 captures all of the allure of the year in its sensual personality. Inky dark fruit, spice, licorice, menthol and chocolate literally race out of the glass. This is impressive.

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) is an outrageously beautiful wine, especially at this level. The addition of 10% Cabernet Franc gives the Napa Valley Cabernet striking aromatic intensity. Lavender, spice, plum and menthol add layers of nuance to this compelling, super-refined Cabernet Sauvignon from Dakota Shy.
