Another example of how great the wines being made by Dakota Shy are. Todd Newman and Tom Garrett have a knack for making great wines. This Cabernet, even very young, sends a message to every other iconic Napa cabernet they have something to contend with. Lots of black fruit and blue fruit on the nose with incredible flavors of blackberries, plums, and currants. I love this wine. — 7 years ago

@Tom Garrett everyone loved the Cab Franc today. Always a party pleaser — 5 years ago
Drank at Bottles in Paris with Sarah and Brice Garrett from Serrano Wines in Paso Robles.
Dark ruby red. Dark nose with some floral notes, dark berries, and a little savory. Medium plus (6.5/10) and full bodied. Some herbs on the palate, savory, leather and dark raspberries. Long and lingering finish. Drink till 2027. (91+) — 6 years ago
Had this after drinking spiced mulled wine for the holidays. It was refreshing—much less sweet but still a fruity easy to drink glass. Garrett and I bought the wine on recommendation from a sommelier in Rome. — 7 years ago
Cheiro alcoólico e fermentado. Cor bem bonita. Gosto com pimenta, pouco amadeirado e mais frutado. Sensacional. (: — 8 years ago
Fantastic sparkling Shiraz. Soft, dark fruits and oak on the nose, subtle fruity sweetness mixed with prunes and strawberries on the palate. — 9 years ago
Red fruits, spice, cedar and hint of Levi Garrett jump out of the glass. Awesome Rioja. — 9 years ago

Fridays are for Franc! And I. LOVE. THIS. WINE. I could not believe the aromatics that exploded from the bottle when I pulled the cork. Seriously it was like there was a blueberry pie baking in the kitchen. Decanted for an hour or so. Deep magenta in the glass. Loads of Cherry and blueberry on the palate mingle with vanilla, chocolate, herbs, and earth - very rich, but so incredibly balanced at the same time. I’ve been a longtime fan of Detert wines and this very well may be my favorite vintage of their Franc to date. I’m just wowed. Can’t wait to revisit this again and see how it evolves. Really well done @Tom Garrett (as always). — 6 years ago
This was top 10 chardonnays for me. Buttery, creamy but not a butter bomb. Drank this with the Baer’s in Lake Bluff thanks to Scott Garrett — 7 years ago

Date night at Lucia's with Garrett. I really like this wine, it's complex yet refreshing. Good acidity and tannins — 8 years ago
Delicious wine...1995...worth carrying back from Portugal — 9 years ago
More restrained flavor profile than the J. Garrett. Cedar and graphite nose, with dark plum spice on the palate...tannins grab hold at the end and dont let go for just long enough to think about it and take another drink... — 10 years ago
Not sure I know of a better $9 white wine! — 10 years ago
