Vineyards

At Dakota Shy, we believe exceptional wines start with the finest grapes, sourced from some of Napa Valley’s most iconic and historic vineyards. Our partnerships with renowned growers and access to diverse regions, from the mountainous terrains of Atlas Peak and Howell Mountain to the picturesque valley floor AVAs of Oakville and Rutherford, enable us to craft powerful, complex, and sophisticated Cabernets. Winemaker Tom Garrett skillfully harnesses the unique characteristics of each vineyard site, ensuring each bottle embodies the essence of Napa Valley’s rich terroir.
