Again marveling at this unusual creature of dark purple juice with dark floral yet fresh notes with a light but grippy palate that has grapey hints and a long intriguing finish. Great with Vietnamese and 9.98% ABV 49 cases made! — 8 months ago

Young. I’ve said it many times; Hatton Daniels wines are made to age and this Cabernet is at the far end of the hold spectrum. While I loved drinking this there is so much potential that is overtaken by the density and freshness packed into this. 20-30-40 years just forget about this bottle. While it is great and definitely not hard by any means this will only become glorious over time. — 6 years ago

The not only best label but best wine in the lineup, he should adapt this pattern in different colors for all labels and similar with the winemaking the volume is high on this on, brilliant. Textbook — 9 years ago

Pure, clean wine. Highish acid, great texture. Salty, mineral, reserved upon opening. More elegant, not boisterous fruit. Slammin easy drinking BBQ wine. Opens nicely after 1-2 hours.. then dark fruits show. Polished. Zero sulfur. — 9 years ago

A rare gift from a Kiwi. What a blinder, not super strong but just right. Ate with lamb — 11 years ago

I wasn't thrilled with this one when it went to bottle, but for me it has really come around. Very floral, intense aromatics. Ironically I get the too much oak comment... yet this was in only 6+ year old barrels. ??? — 11 years ago

Krug is always most welcome, and Valentine’s Day is no exception. This is edition 169. A bit more yeasty and slightly less acidic than previous versions, to my taste. But if you like the Krug style - which we do very much - it hits the spot per usual.

My wife used to work with Fritz Hatton, proprietor of Arietta wines and auctioneer for Zachys. Fritz always says to have a half bottle of champagne waiting in the fridge in case you need a “midnight snack”, and I have to agree with him! — 5 years ago

So my black face surprised David L tonight. Couldn't let him come to NY without pressing the flesh. Anyway, we took a picture with the Arietta owner Fritz Hatton. A brilliant evening (organized by Daniel Posner: Grapes) on many levels - At Restaurant North, NY. — 9 years ago

This is an inarguably great wine. And all the more impressive to me that it is stylistically not my typical leanings. Serious power, depth, balance - still so young - and I'll be damned if this wine isn't mindblowing in 10 years. Bravo @Fritz Hatton — 10 years ago

Arietta is an oenological
tribute to Beethoven created by the musical minds of John Kongsgaard and Fritz Hatton and the latter has taken over the project, expanding it to include this blend of several white varietals that is crisp, citrus-driven and very food-friendly! — 11 years ago
