Aperture Cellars Unveils Five New Fall Releases

Aperture Cellars, ranked number 14 on the World's 50 Best Vineyards list, has unveiled a five-wine Fall Release that captures Sonoma through a range of sites from the iron-rich hillsides of Alexander Valley to eight acres of own-rooted vines planted in 1912 beside the Russian River. This collection brings together some of Aperture's most acclaimed and limited-production wines. The complete release includes:

• 2023 Estate Farrow Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon ($150): A 100 percent Cabernet Sauvignon from the estate’s steep, south-facing Block 12. The 2023 vintage underwent two fermentations at different temperatures to build complexity before aging in 80 percent new French oak and concrete.

• 2024 Estate 1912 Blend ($85): A co-fermented field blend from own-rooted, head-trained vines planted in 1912, featuring Zinfandel, Carignan, Petite Sirah, Grenache, Mourvèdre, Sémillon, Cabernet Franc, and several unidentified varieties.

• 2024 Estate Farrow Ranch Sauvignon Blanc ($80): A 100-percent Sauvignon Blanc from Block 16, planted in the late 1980s in rich red volcanic soils. Vibrant, concentrated, and mineral-driven, it is exclusive to Wine Collective members.

• 2024 Cabernet Sauvignon ($70): Sourced with an emphasis on Alexander Valley’s volcanic hillside sites, offering intense black fruit and lengthy, velvety tannins.

• 2024 Bordeaux Red Blend ($55): A Merlot- and Malbec-led blend with ripe red fruit, silky tannins, and elegant density.
