The 2021 Bordeaux Blend from Aperture is a beautiful mélange of 44% Merlot, 27% Malbec, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Petit Verdot, and 9% Cabernet Franc and saw 50% new French oak for approximately 18 months. A medium, moving to dark, purple core with a light neon ruby rim that glistens in the glass. Starting off with aromas of black cherries, blackberries, cedary herbs, tobacco leaves, and sweet spice, it flows across the palate with ease. Sweet but present tannins coat the mouth, while the racy acidity finishes things off. A truly incredible wine for the price point. About 5000 cases made. Highly recommended and best buy.
