Aperture
Aperture produces wines from Alexander Valley, Sonoma County's premier region for Cabernet Sauvignon and other classic varietals. The winery's portfolio centers on single-vineyard and blended expressions that have drawn assessment from Decanter, Wine Enthusiast, and Wine Advocate. Nomad, a multi-varietal blend anchored in Cabernet Sauvignon with Chardonnay, Riesling, Zinfandel, Sauvignon Blanc, and Merlot, represents the winery's broader range. The Farrow Ranch and Oliver Ranch Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignons showcase the precision and structure that define Alexander Valley's terroir—wines built on the region's warm days, cool nights, and volcanic soils. These vineyard-designated bottlings reflect the specificity of place that distinguishes serious Sonoma County production.
