Dakota Shy

Château Cos d'Estournel

Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend 1981

Having failed miserably at our 2015 new years resolution to drink up our aging cellar faster, we're glad we still have some of these around. Shy at first but then becoming fuller in the glass, this was an excellent hamburger wine tonight. With Alex in Oakland 12-17-2015.. — 11 years ago

Emidio Pepe

Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 1978

Shy at first, this took off like a rocket. Soaring aromatics, beautiful palate. — 11 years ago

Fuligni Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2001

Very shy at first while showing its earthy side. However, this was the only of the three wines for dinner that elevated itself with cuisine. Took about two hours for voluptuous fruit to come out. Definitely the elegant side of Brunello — 11 years ago

Prairie Berry Winery

Calamity Jane Concord

A perfect Red for those looking to expand their wine from sweet whites like moscato...there isn't that dry kick back you get from most reds...this one is a sweet wine with a grape juice texture to it... — 11 years ago

Anakota

Helena Montana Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

Another one from my favorite winery. Had a more memorable tasting with the Dakota than the Montoya, but the Montoya offers a punch in the face bold cab that's hits like a Bordeaux — 11 years ago

Bodegas y Viñedos Vega Sicilia

Unico Ribera del Duero Tempranillo Blend 1994

Miguel de Leon
9.5

94 is singing out of the bottle, at its prime. Integration at its best and a lot of that character you expect out of Vega retained. Not shy at all. — 11 years ago
