Aperture Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Alexander Valley Cabernet hits prime drinking window with mineral-driven elegance.

Black cherry concentration opens immediately. Mocha richness weaves through graphite minerality. Bay leaf adds herbal complexity without overwhelming fruit core. Dark chocolate emerges mid-palate, supported by firm but integrated tannins. Finish lingers with mineral persistence and subtle spice. Ten years softened edges while preserving varietal character. Ready now but holds another five years easily. Classic Alexander Valley expression at peak form.
