Another great Aperture discovery. This blend is delicious. Similar to the cab, but more rounded of course. Could use a bit more structure.

Brand new release (8/26) from Aperture Cellars and Jesse Katz.
Deep purplish ruby red. Layered nose with lavender, dark cocoa, spice box, light blue fruits and some sweet spices. Medium plus tannins (6.5/10) and medium plus bodied. Layered palate with a similar structure to their Cabernet Sauvignon but definitely a bit drier. Black cherries in the attack with a soil presence, red currants and lots of spices. Very dry and long finish. This wine is definitely a baby that will only get better with some more bottle age. Drink till 2028. (90+)
Made up of 41% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Malbec, 25% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc. | Sample
