2023 Aperture Cabernet Sauvignon, Sonoma County, California, USA
ABOUT THIS WINE
Jesse, the winemaker, focused first on the Cabernet fruit from mineral-rich, volcanic soil sites nestled on the hillside slopes in the Alexander Valley. The rest of the grapes come from a mix of eastern hillsides that are South and South West facing with a bench land block. He specifically works with some of the most unique sites throughout Alexander Valley that focus on well drained, volcanic soils. With little organic material, these soils help to control vigor and growth and increase concentration and complexity in the wine. Many of these unique soils are in the Eastern hillsides of the appellation and display an amazing rich, red color.
This vintage’s blend is uniquely crafted with a delicate inclusion of Malbec, and a hint of Merlot and Petit Verdot, showcasing intense black fruits enriched with lengthy velvety tannins. All the fruit is hand harvested and brought into the winery within hours of being picked.
 Everything is methodically and obsessively sorted. A cold soak of 4-7 days with minimal air incorporation starts the extraction and then cool fermentations with native yeast carry out the remaining. Air and temperature are controlled throughout the 14-28 day fermentation and extended maceration is determined lot by lot where the winemaker walks the fine line of full extraction and still retaining an elegant and silky texture. Wines go through malolactic fermentation. Unfined and unfiltered.Â
