A dark purple color, the '02 Arietta Proprietary Red Blend 'H Block Hudson Vineyards' boasts pure minty notes of black cherry, plum, scorched earth and espresso. A rich, dense mouthful of ripe dark fruits and bitter mocha with a spicy lift follow next before evolving to a long sustained finish of refined extraction.
