2023 APERTURE DEL RIO VINEYARD CABERNET SAUVIGNON

The 2023 Del Rio Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon showcases refined power from its southeast Alexander Valley hillside. Planted in 2000 on a 4-acre, steep south-facing slope from Clone 337, its chalky volcanic soils and minimal organic material create concentrated, complex fruit with soft tannins and rich dark flavors.
“There’s a gravelly freshness that lifts out of the glass, carrying ultra–dark berry fruit with an impressively dense core — so pure, clean, and fresh that the wine is genuinely refreshing, yet still endowed with the depth and tannic intensity you want in a long-lived Cabernet. Tobacco spice, dried violets, and black fruit layer in alongside cool wet-slate tones on the impressively long finish.” – 99 points, Cristaldi & Co
Available in 750ml and 1.5L magnum formats
