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

First of the single vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon bottlings we tasted at Aperture Cellars with Lauren.

Deep ruby red. Layered nose with ripe berries, dark cocoa, tobacco leaves, leather and cinnamon with an earthy undertone. Medium plus tannins (7.5/10) and full bodied. Lots of fall spices on the palate with some dark cocoa and blackberries. Long and lingering finish. Drink till 2032.

Tasted at the tasting room and retails for $95.00.

@Delectable Wine this is the Del Rio Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon.

Shirtail Ranches California Rosé Blend 2016

A beautiful, bright crisp rose. On the nose the classic notes of strawberry and watermelon with just a touch of citrus. The palate is crisp and bright with wonderful, fresh acidity. The palate is where the California fruit shows off. Juicy flavors of strawberry, watermelon, pomegranate, and touches of citrus and peach balanced out by big, juicy acidity and just a touch of stony minerality. The finish is fresh and slightly herbal with nice juiciness and great acidity. Wonderful wine with fish tacos. — 7 years ago

Brutocao

Hopland Ranches Chardonnay 2014

Amazing pineapple and honeydew on the nose. Slight dryness, oakiness, butteriness and pineappleness (yes, pineappleness) on the palette. All the best ness' lol. This is a really, really delicious wine. Plus, it's pairing extremely well with the bits of cold leftover turkey I'm snacking on. The sweetness from the pineapple is balancing out the spiciness from the jalepeño quite nicely 😊 — 7 years ago

Piner-Olivet Ranches Zinfandel 2016

Mike Officer wanted to create a blend that represents the 3 unique old vine vineyards in the Piner-Olivet crossing of the Russian River Valley. This is the first vintage and what a success. This is just insanely good and represents everything there is to love in RR zin. A field blend of everything from all 3 vineyards it’s rich and lush, full of black fruits but balanced by acidity and never heavy and not clocking above 15%. A real show of great terroir, old vines, and fine winemaking. — 6 years ago

Nice! I snagged some of this from Classic a few months back and haven’t tried.

You’ll like. A nice new blend in the mix, but im also hoping we see the return of the app blends next year. This year was only the dry creek valley (which was insanely good as usual).
