An exceptional Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. A captivating, terroir-driven wine from a rising star.
Aged 22 months in 100% new French oak
We absolutely love and sell out of Aperture's standard Cabernet, but this single vineyard offering is on another level. Aromas of black cherry, graphite, and herbal notes lead to a focused, powerful palate with fine-grained tannins and a long, savory finish. Absolutely fantastic!
This is one of the Site Series from Winemaker/Proprietor Jesse Katz, his collection of single vineyard selections crafted for their specific soil types. Del Rio Vineyard is planted on a steep, south-facing slope on chalky, volcanic soils. Brandied cherries, graphite, and a coat of black licorice unite in a luxurious bath of suede-lined tannins. Violets bloom mid-point, with undercurrents of espresso and Worcestershire. It fills the mouth and saturates the soul.
An intensely concentrated but pure and luxurious wine made from a steep hillside vineyard. It brings a posh blend of blueberries, blackcurrants and dark chocolate on firm, polished tannins. Fantastic personality, with roses, potpourri and savory wild herb nuances. Aged in 100% new French oak.
