2021 Aperture Red Blend Sonoma

A blend of Malbec and Merlot from vines planted on clay soils, some of the fruit is estate and some is purchased from Jessie Katz a good amount of ripe black cherry, blueberry and currant berry fruit with notes of coco and licorice spice.  A rich and layered wine on the tongue with a solid core of fruit, a big wine but is also nicely balanced on the finish bit but fresh.  Finish 45+ Excellent +
