Aperture Bordeaux Red Blend | Vinofiore Wine Shop & Tasting Room

Aperture Bordeaux Red Blend is a stunning Sonoma County expression of the classic Bordeaux framework — elegant, layered, and built to impress. Led by Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon, this hillside-sourced blend bursts with pure red cherry and pomegranate, unfurling into nuances of lavender, forest floor, and glossy oak as it opens. Powdery tannins, juicy acidity, and a long, layered finish make this one of California’s most compelling Bordeaux-style reds.Region/Appellation Sonoma County, CaliforniaAbout This Winery Aperture Cellars sources exclusively from hillside vineyards, where smaller berry size and concentrated flavors define their style.
