Geoff Gorsuch, our Winemaker, carefully selected the finest lots from the Goosecross Estate vineyard and married in some Cabernet from our rugged Howell Mountain vineyard. The end result is a wine of extraordinary beauty, intensity and majestic proportion.

Stunning. The seductive scent of black currant, ripe plum, dark chocolate and grilled bread anticipates layers of luscious cassis, dried cherry, sweet tobacco and anise that coat the palate and linger, finishing with subtle nuances of earth and spice.

Hedonistic, and much too alluring to pass up now, the 10th ÆROS release will develop even greater complexity in the cellar over the years to come.

In the many years since it was first created, ÆROS has repeatedly astounded and intrigued collectors of fine wines. Prepare to be swept away...
