Arietta
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
Well balanced and lovely Napa Cabernet. Big blue and red fruits, cocoa power, coffee grounds, lovely medium plus tannins and still a strong amount of acid. This bottle still has cellar time. Yum!

What happens when you place a well made cab to rest for five years - magic - I had this wine when the wine first came out / it was good but just need some time to mellow - mellow if did - wow this wine is drinking well and a pnp - maybe 5 more years but don’t sit on them for a long time - color out the bottle was deep rich purplish red and swirled in the glass and the smell was delightful- just elegant yet jammy fruits inviting your nose for another deep inhale - the taste was delicious and rich - black and refreshing currants with creamy textures - but the finish was exotic - loved ever 20-30 seconds of it - all smiles last night with my friend @R Bowers

Nov 17th, 2019Such an amazing wine - Cabernet Sauvignon is big bold and beautiful- instinctively will be out front and center - fruit and taste and finish
My words are badass in a glass and stunning. The smell is so "wig" - look up what it means according to Katy Perry - it is that good - expressive aromatics meld into dark red stone fruits - just plain classy
After two hours / savory aromatics, perfume and depth. There is so much going on in the glass that words are not enough
I love everything Andy Erickson does and definitely here - bravo - big wide open smile tonight!!!!

Poured one glass four days ago, popped in the fridge, and finished tonight. Truly amazing how well it opened up which shows how well it will age. Rich, pretty, and very balanced. All Coombsville fruit.

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.

Sep 14th, 2017Wow, this is already firing on all cylinders. Muted nose, but the expression in the mouth is intense. Superb texture and mouthfeel. Layer after layer of flavors. This is a brilliant 14 example...

Big, richly textured Cab, great tannin integration for such a young wine.
