| Description: | This 2019 is a beast! A true Cabernet drinkers Cab. The 2019 vintage is like if 2013 and 2016 had a baby – big, powerful, structured, full of energy and impossible not to be consumed immediately. Boasting appealing dark fruit aromas of plum, blackberry and luxardo cherry co-mingled with hints of fresh tobacco, This Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a wonderful expression of the region. Bold yet elegantly structured, it o ers rm tannins and a juicy mid-palate while revealing warming notes of cocoa and baking spice on the long, graceful nish. This character-driven wine can be enjoyed now with 60 minutes in the decanter or put away in your cellar to sleep – this 2019 Alexander Valley will age like a glacier. 100% Sj Ranch Vineyard 100% Cabernet Sauvignon 100% Unfined and Unfiltered 100% handpicked and hand sorted Only 1,200 cases produced Cooperage and Cellaring Darnajou Boutes Berger & Fils Sylvain Taransaud 22 months in barrel 80% new French oak, 20% once used Jesse Katz: Winemaker Early adventures to legendary vineyards and wineries around the world with his father, photographer Andy Katz, rooted Jesse in a passion for place and respect for creative crafts. Jesse is inspired by the relationship of unpredictable nature in the vineyard, precise science in the winery, and a craft millennia in the making. His winemaking centers on selecting unique sites and settings, then pairing diverse farming and winemaking techniques to extract the deepest expression of each vineyard. In 2010, Katz was the youngest-hired head winemaker in the Us at Lancaster Estate, where he brought to bear his handcrafted style of terroir driven winemaking and established their Roth Estate brand. During his five-year tenure, he orchestrated the building of the new Roth winery, production facility, and tasting room on Chalk Hill Road, grew the Roth line over 800% and received 90+ scores on every wine scored by Robert Parker, Jr and his wine was designated as Top 100 Wines by Wine Spectator. During this time, he also pivoted farming and winery practices, making both certified sustainable. His experience spans 15 harvests at wineries like Pétrus and includes time on the winemaking teams at Screaming Eagle Winery, Robert Foley Winery, and Viña Cobos and Bodega Noemia in Argentina. Jesse has been named 40 Under 40 Tastemaker by Wine Enthusiast and was the first winemaker on the Forbes 30 Under 30. Aperture Cellars was recently selected as a Rising Star by Wine Spectator and a bottle of his 2015 The Setting Wines just became the most expensive single bottle of wine ever sold, earning $350,000 at Emeril Lagasse's annual charity wine auction. Jesse puts his abilities to work raising funds for good causes, such as Becoming Independent, Navy Seals Foundation, United Way and Roots of Peace whose "Mines to Vines" program works to restore economic stability to war stricken areas of the world through agriculture. He also produces custom wines for athletes and celebrities like Tony Hawk, Superbowl Mvp Von Miller, Shep Gordon, as well as Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel's wedding wine.
