Aperture Cellars has graciously donated 2 MAGNUMS of their famous Cabernet Sauvignon for one lucky winner to enjoy! These particular vintages come highly rated and almost impossible to purchase.

Aperture's expression of this Alexander Valley site shows defined blue fruit notes with a subtle layer of delicate earth and stone characteristics. Gaining in concentration and complexity this wine is held with well-structured tannins and an underlying elegance. 100% cabernet sauvignon, this distinctive wine carries with it a profound sense of place.

"The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Del Rio Vineyard is stunning and singular this vintage and made entirely of Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep ruby-purple, it offers aromas of tapenade, dried herbs, graphite, mushroom powder and loads of floral aromas over a core of cassis and blue fruits. The full-bodied palate is slow to unfurl, but when it does-wow! Layered and concentrated, it's wrapped in a finely pixelated frame with a streak of minerality and great freshness to lift the very long finish." 97+ pts - Erin Brooks, Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate

"Opaque ruby purple in the glass, it has an incredible perfume loaded with oral nuances, its cassis and boysenberry fruit tempered by a mineral streak and accented by notes of dried thyme, fresh tobacco leaves, mint chocolate, clover and bay leaves. The palate is stunning, powerful but silky and fresh, lushly fruited and nuanced and finishing very long. While this 2018 is approachable and utterly delicious now, it will reward cellaring and should be very long lived." 97 pts - Erin Brooks, Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate
