Aperture Cellars simply introduced its 2026 Spring Wine launch. The lineup is anchored by limited-production single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignons and complemented by shiny, textured whites.
To rejoice the Spring Launch, Jesse Katz, founder, and Aperture Property, newly appointed #14 on World’s Finest Vineyards, will host friends for a particular Spring Dinner on Saturday, April 4.
