    Aperture 2019 Estate 1912 Vineyard Red (Russian River Valley)

    Concentration, focus and power are the hallmarks of this deeply flavorful, firmly tannic wine that should improve for decades. Intense oak toast, black currant, blueberry, graphite and dark chocolate flavors crowd into a massive, dense yet velvety tannin structure that holds them tight but also lets them cast their spell. Best from 2028-2040.
