2022 APERTURE SJ RANCH VINEYARD CABERNET SAUVIGNON – SOLD OUT

The 2022 SJ Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon demonstrates bold, rich fruit highlighted with delicate floral qualities.
This rich and smooth Cabernet from Clone 7 is sourced exclusively from the prestigious SJ Ranch Vineyard, a 7.9-acre parcel atop Chalk Hill, adjacent to the renowned Verité vineyards. Only four small blocks, totaling 2.4 acres, are selected. Our focus on well-drained volcanic soils with minimal organic material enhances growth control, concentration, and complexity in the wine.
“The medium-bodied palate is concentrated and nuanced with impressively tempered ripeness and well-integrated new oak character. It’s structured by powdery tannins and seamless acidity and has a very long, spicy finish.” 96 pts – Erin Brooks, Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate
99 pts – International Wine Report
