| Description: | Winemaker Notes\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nFor this vintage, we crafted a distinct Bordeaux blend, composed primarily of merlot and malbec, with almost equal inclusions of cabernet sauvignon, petite verdot, and cabernet franc. The ripe red fruit characters are structured by silky seamless tannins, showcasing an elegant density to the blend.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u201dThe first iteration to include a significant amount of fruit from Farrow Ranch, Aperture\u2019s latest vineyard acquisition\u2026 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.\u201d\r\n\r\n\r\nRobert Parker 95 Points\r\nAbout Aperture Cellars\r\nWine is an artistic expression as personal and universal as photography. So it only makes sense that Andy and Jesse Katz would finally find a way to work together to produce some of the most stunning wines from California.\r\nAndy made his name as one of the greatest photographers of his generation, and his\u00a0work graces coffee-table books, galleries, and album covers around the globe. While he was traveling the world for his art, he made a point of bringing along his son, Jesse, to experience it all with him. Over the years, they both benefited from an international wine education that even master sommeliers would envy\u2014sipping with Olivier Leflaive and his Family, working through the famous wine cellar of Cheval Blanc and in a late-night tasting of Sassicaia.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIt\u2019s all come full circle now with Aperture: Jesse makes the wine\u2014some of the most critically lauded in the world\u2014and Andy supplies the photos. Andy\u2019s vision, Jesse\u2019s taste, smell, and touch\u2026 Treat yourself to a dance of the senses compliments of two gifted artists.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe wines, and the winery, are just the entry point into Andy and Jesse\u2019s unique world where we incorporate art and wine and all the elements of nature in one game-changing space. We think of our winery as a platform and an incubator for expressing art and the creativity of wine, and the intersection of both. |
