Drink it now or cellar for up to 15 years. It is recommended to decant it for at least an hour.

Located near downtown Healdsburg, Sonoma County, Californian winery Aperture was founded in 2009 by Jesse Katz, son of famed photographer Andy Katz. After following his father on his travels to some of the most famous vineyards around the world, from Burgundy to Tuscany, Jesse decided to settle in Sonoma to produce wines that encompass the best of the new and old world.

This wine is a fantastic blend made up of Malbec and Merlot. The grapes are selected and harvested by hand from hilly vineyards in the Alexander Valley, where the soil and climatic characteristics ensure the production of small berries characterized by an exceptional aromatic concentration. The wine is aged for 18 months in French oak, achieving excellent maturation and velvety softness.

The Aperture Red Blend has an intense and concentrated olfactory profile with aromas of ripe red fruits typical of the Malbec and Merlot varieties. On the palate, the wine reveals once again a great concentration of fruit with an elegant and silky tannic backbone. The finish is long and rich. Thanks to its powerful but fine structure, this wine goes perfectly with red meat, especially grilled, or roast lamb.
