2018 APERTURE DEL RIO VINEYARD CABERNET SAUVIGNON
Consistently floral year over year with dried juniper lavender, blackberry preserve, olive tapenade, and cassias. The mountain hillside tannins frame this wine with incredible weight while still holding onto its bright elegance. Multiple layers of ripe raspberries, blueberry, and cherry-cola complimented by dried herbs, and graphite that build on the palate to arrive at a long, mineral-driven finish.
