Aperture 2021 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Petit Verdot, 5% Merlot, 3% Malbec, 1% Cabernet Franc. Focusing first on the Cabernet fruit from our mineral-rich, volcanic soil sites nestled on the hillside slopes in the Alexander Valley. This vintage’s blend is uniquely crafted with delicate inclusions of Petit Verdot and Merlot, and a hint of Malbec and Cabernet Franc showcasing intense black fruits enriched with lengthy velvety tannins. — WINEMAKER JESSE KATZ.

The nose opens with aromas of deep currant, sweet oak, dusty cherry and some cedar wood shavings. The palate has a presence to it with a full and opulent flavor set of currant, plum, and sweet oak. D&M Tasting Notes
