2022 APERTURE ESTATE FARROW RANCH SAUVIGNON BLANC
We are excited to share the inaugural bottling of our estate Farrow Ranch Sauvignon Blanc. 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.
“It takes significant air to really open and is worth the wait: oodles of peach and green tropical fruits are accented by nuances of beeswax and exotic spice on the nose. The palate is luxuriously satiny, its rich, panna cotta-laced flavors balanced by fireworks of fresh acidity, and it has a very long, layered finish. 190 cases were made.” 95 pts – Erin Brooks, Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate

VINEYARD
Comprised of two different vineyard blocks at Farrow Ranch, both were planted in the mid to late 1980s: Block 9, characterized by clay soils interspersed with crushed gravel, and Block 16, which features rich red volcanic soils. The combination of these diverse soil types contributes to the wine’s uniquely concentrated flavors and distinctive character.
SOIL TYPE
Red Rocky Volcanic and Clay Loam
