2019 APERTURE ESTATE FARROW RANCH CABERNET SAUVIGNON – SOLD OUT
We are excited to share the inaugural bottling of our estate Farrow Ranch cabernet sauvignon. Jesse Katz has a long history with Farrow Ranch beginning with one dry-farmed block of malbec back in 2010. Now the exquisite 75 acres of Farrow Ranch are part of our estate-owned portfolio. This robust cabernet sauvignon showcases an incredible hillside block.
“The inaugural release of a single-vineyard Cabernet from Farrow Ranch, where winemaker Jesse Katz has sourced fruit for his iconic Devil Proof Malbec for more than a decade… Matured for 22 months in 85% new French oak, the Farrow Ranch has a deep ruby color and explosive aromas of Morello cherries, coffee beans, chocolate, laurel and violet. The full-bodied palate is ripe and powerful with a singular, powdery texture, seamless lift and very classy baking spice accents. Graphite-like mineral character drives the finish and suggests this will unfold in bottle over the next 5-7+ years.”
