2023 The Black Aces

The dark label of our Black Aces bottle represents the strength, determination, and perseverance of the Black Aces who silently support each NHL team, always ready to jump in at a moment’s notice for the team’s greater good. This wine behind the label is a blend of several world-class Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards from Oakville and Rutherford. When they all come together in synergy, effortlessly blending the expected with the unexpected, they produce a balanced win that everyone can celebrate.

As we finalized the blend for our 2023 Black Aces, it was obvious — it was a
wine of power and subtlety, a complexity that unfolded with every taste, which inspired us to create a label that would tell a story about what the #23 meant to us. His greatness, like that of this fine vintage, was something that will only grow more powerful as time passes. A symbol of longevity, of consistency, and of evolution, something that we strive for with each wine we create at Vineyard 36.

There’s a feeling you get when you see those iconic red and black
jerseys. It’s more than just a uniform. It’s a symbol. It’s a story. From the
basketball court to the hockey rink, #23 and the red and black jerseys have always been more than just pieces of fabric. Even though their sport was different, their connection to #23 legacy was undeniable.
