Wine Description
From the renowned Aperture Cellars, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship of winemaker Jesse Katz. This wine, hailing from Sonoma County’s volcanic soil-rich Alexander Valley, demonstrates the winery’s dedication to producing wines of exceptional quality and character. The blend comprises 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Petit Verdot, 5% Merlot, 3% Malbec, and 1% Cabernet Franc, aged 18 months in 55% new oak, French oak barrels of 59 and 70 gallons. Remarkably, the wine is unfined, unfiltered, and un-acidified, showcasing the natural essence of its vineyard origins.
The Aperture Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 reveals a deep, rich color, a reflection of its Eastern hillside volcanic soils in Alexander Valley. These soils impart a unique intensity and complexity to the wine. On the nose, the wine presents vibrant, layered aromas. Blueberry compote, lavender, and aniseed dominate, intertwined with nuances of milk chocolate and nutmeg. Undertones of cast iron and tobacco leaves add a fascinating depth and richness to the bouquet.
The palate is a harmonious blend of elegance and intensity. Despite its depth of flavor, the wine has a weightless feel, a testament to its bright acidity and velvety tannins. The medium-bodied structure allows flavors to shine without overpowering. The wine displays an exquisite balance of deep fruit flavors, with black fruits taking center stage, enriched by the lengthy, velvety tannins that are a signature of the vintage.
Aperture Cellars’ commitment to quality is evident in the wine’s long, latent finish, a promise of its potential to evolve beautifully with 3-5 years of bottle aging. The 2021 vintage has garnered critical acclaim, with a notable 96 points from Wine Advocate. This score is a reflection of the wine’s exceptional quality and the skill of Jesse Katz in capturing the essence of Aperture’s estate vineyard in Healdsburg and the Farrow Ranch in Alexander Valley.
Aperture Cellars’ reputation for excellence is further solidified by the aperture cellars reviews and aperture cellars photos that capture the essence of the Aperture vineyard and the Aperture estate winery.
