2019 APERTURE SJ RANCH VINEYARD CABERNET SAUVIGNON

“…concentration and elegance, and its latent spicy accents suggest it will develop well in bottle. Deep ruby, it has generous layers of cassis, cast iron, salumi and pure violet perfume, continuing to unfold to accents of milk chocolate and bouquet garni as it spends time in the glass. The medium-bodied palate explodes with floral fruits supported by abundant, finely grained tannins, fresh acidity and a very long finish glittering with new French oak spice…” 96pts – Erin Brooks, Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate
