This release marks a special iteration as it includes a significant contribution of fruit from the newly acquired Farrow Ranch, enhancing the complexity and appeal of the blend.

    The color of this wine is a deep,medium bodied palate inviting ruby that hints at the richness to be discovered within. As you pour, it settles gracefully in the glass, promising a full-bodied experience. The aroma is immediately welcoming, with an intricate layering of red and black currants that meld seamlessly with the luxurious scents of chocolate-covered cherries. This fruity essence is beautifully entwined with sophisticated notes of new oak spices, tobacco, and a hint of tapenade, offering a scent profile that is as intriguing as it is delightful.

The palate is graced with the same nuanced flavors sensed in the aroma, now complemented by a velvety texture from well-integrated tannins. The blend balances richness with elegance, featuring a lively acidity that beckons for another sip. The finish is flavorful and fresh, leaving a lasting impression of ripe berries and cherries, underscored by a floral bouquet that adds a unique dimension to the tasting experience.

    This exceptional wine is composed of 44% Merlot, 27% Malbec, and smaller yet significant portions of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc. Each varietal contributes its distinctive qualities, creating a harmonious and layered drinking experience. The grapes, benefiting from the clay loam soils of the hillside vineyards in Sonoma County, reach their full phenolic ripeness while retaining a vibrant freshness.

    The 2021 Bordeaux Red Blend is the first iteration to include a significant amount of fruit from Farrow Ranch, Aperture's latest vineyard acquisition. It's a blend of 44% Merlot, 27% Malbec, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Petit Verdot and 9% Cabernet Franc and was matured for 18 months in 50% new French oak. It has slowly unfurling scents of red and black currants, chocolate-covered cherries, integrated new oak spices, tobacco and tapenade. The palate is particularly elegant, balancing concentrated, nuanced flavors with a frame of velvety tannins and vibrant acidity that calls you back to the glass.

    Ripe berries and cherries with some currant jam as well as a bouquet of fresh flowers. Full-bodied with lots unctuous fruit and layers of tannins that are supple and caressing. Flavorful finish. Fresh, too. For people who want flavor.
