About the wine
Endlessly elegant Cabernet from the heart of Alexander Valley
This library-edition Alexander Valley Cab is a velvety prize from one of the most prestigious indie winemakers in the world. The final blend - 85% Cabernet, 8% Malbec, and 7% Merlot, is a masterclass in elegant power.
All hand harvested from four small lot vineyards in Sonoma's elite wine playground, this is methodically and obsessively-made Cabernet. Jesse plays with the technical details – cool fermentation, extended maceration – to walk a fine line between an elegant and silky red and full extraction.
You won't find this vintage available anywhere else. This cellar share is all yours - if you get it now.
Best before
This wine is drinking beautifuly now with a decant and will age in bottle gracefully for the next 10+ years.
Serving advice
We suggest decanting this wine for at least an hour before you plan on enjoying it.
Food match
This is a rich, bold wine that compliments dishes with hearty sauces, red meats - especially when they are grilled or peppery flavors like those of tomato-based pasta sauces.
Contains sulphites

Meet the winemaker - Jesse Katz
Jesse Katz is a winemaking wunderkind who spent his formative years working with legendary names like Bordeaux's Pétrus (he even experienced a harvest at Screaming Eagle) before becoming America's youngest head winemaker at 25 with Lancaster Estate.
In 2009, Jesse launched his Sonoma winery, Aperture Cellars, where he’s already earned dozens of 95+ Robert Parker Wine Advocate Scores since then. He’s got decades of harvests before him and he loves the community you've built at Naked so much, he wants to make award-winning wines with you, too.
“Angel support is amazing," said Jesse. "Working with Naked Wines is a wonderful way to be creative and we’re excited about a growing partnership now and in the future.”
