"All of the Dakota Shy 2015s are compelling, but the Moulds seems to have a little more nuance and overall finesse, something this vintage badly needs. The crème de cassis, lavender, plum, menthol, chocolate and sweet French oak flavors are beautifully delineated. The 2015 is naturally ripe and voluptuous, but the mid-weight structure and precision balance the wine's richness nicely. Readers may prefer to cellar the 2015 for a few years, which should help the wine come together a bit more fully, but the Moulds is going to be very hard to resist in the early going."

The fourth-largest wine producer in the world, led by California. American fine wine is defined by ripe, expressive fruit and a spirit of innovation, with Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon among the most sought-after wines globally.
The world's most planted premium red grape, yielding deeply colored, tannic and structured wines with cassis, cedar and graphite notes. Firm tannins and acidity make it exceptionally age-worthy, whether as a varietal or the backbone of a Bordeaux blend.
