Arietta Merlot Napa 2011

Complex aromas of plum, black stone fruits, and black tea set the stage for this stunner. On the palate the wine is expansive and very serious, well-balanced, giving generous amounts of red berries, cocoa powder, cassis, and spice, and a long, silky finish. Outstanding now, but will continue to evolve for another 10 years.
