Soil Series Cabernet Sauvignon

First stop on our MD trip this year was to Aperture Cellars in downtown Healdsburg.

First red wine at Aperture Cellars with Lauren. Deep ruby red in appearance. Layered nose with baking spices, little bit of purple flowers and some dusty dark cherries. Medium tannins (6.5/10) and medium plus body. Seems to have gone into a silent phase but excited to see where it will be in a couple years. Long finish. Drink till 2026.

(90+)

Tasted at the tasting room and retails for $62.00.

Bangin. Just operating on full cylinders. But can understand why this can go for at least 15 more years. stoked to have more laid down. Truly an incredible Cab

Brand new release (8/26) from Aperture Cellars and Jesse Katz.

Deep and dark purplish ruby red. Explosive nose with blueberries (almost a blueberry pie to start), cinnamon, vanilla, spices and crushed floral notes. Heavy tannins (7/10) and medium plus body with potential to beef up with some time. Layered palate with ripe fruits, spices, dark crushed gravel, vanilla, cinnamon, black currants, and a touch toasty. Great acidity and an almost austere structure, not harsh but powerful and keeping the fruit in check. Dry finish with more minerality in the long finish. Well made Cabernet and built to last. Drink till 2030. (92+)| Sample

Heavy and bold, with nice spice
