The 2021 On The White Keys is a pretty rich wine, much of that a result of tiny yields. Orchard fruit, white flowers, chamomile, sage and a kiss of French oak fill out the layers. Creamy and expansive, the 2021 is flat-out gorgeous. It's one of the best vintages I can remember tasting. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, February 2023)

16’ Arietta The White Keys These wines are a little abrasive when they’re first released. Opens up in the glass 5 minutes later. Pale yellow in color. Orange mango, honeydew. peach, fresh fig. The light acidity flows throughout the glass. Beautifully made. Consistency of this white wine year after year. Drink them up in the next 2/3 years.

Arietta Wines lunch with owner Fritz. We were able to taste through some current releases as well as some reserve wines Fritz brought with him personally. A treat to enjoy these Andy Erickson wines!
Classically styled and balanced. Very reminiscent of Spottswoode’s SB. Floral with tart fruit and medium acidity. Lots of lemon-lime here but also melon. Crushed rocks. Vibrant.

Needs some time, but this is a lovely SB. Very tart and citrusy up front. Lots of kiwi, melon, peach and finishes with Mexican vanilla. Easy to detect semillon in this...needs another 1-2yrs in bottle. Still, very good.
