100 Points, Jeb Dunnuck


A virtual or in-person visit to Aperture isn’t like any other in Wine Country. Aperture's winemaker Jesse Katz and his team make some of the most critically lauded wines in the world. This is a rare opportunity to dive deep into the curated vineyards of Aperture Cellars with purple cork.

Aperture Cellars retains the record for the highest-rated Cabernet Sauvignon's ever made from Alexander Valley. Acclaimed winemaker Jesse Katz has claimed an ever-growing list of accolades and awards for his nuanced high-quality wines. He was named a Wine Spectator 40 Under 40 Tastemaker and the first winemaker ever to be named on Forbes 30 Under 30 list.

purple cork fans know how much we love our Bordeaux style wines from Alexander Valley, and these from Jesse rival some of the best in the world. While Aperture doesn’t seek out accolades, every Aperture vintage of Bordeaux wine has been rated with more than 90 points by the top critics in the wine world, with recent vintages scoring above 97 points.

Jesse has an exceptional team behind him: Lauren Wong, VP Sales and Marketing, and Lauryn Mitrovich, Director of Hospitality. You’ll get to know them virtually, along with their stunning new hospitality space.
