Arietta Quartet Cabernet blend Napa 2010

This opulent blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot is an exceedingly satisfying experience tonight but guaranteed to impress for at least 5 – 7 years to come. This wine comes out guns blazing! Copious quantities of exotic spices and intense fruit launch from the glass. Dense, ripe, and full-bodied, with velvety tannins, this magnificent effort displays a core of cassis, blackberry, mocha and caramel complimented by creamy vanilla oak on the prodigious finish. Overall, this captivating Cabernet blend is one of the most enticing under $100 Cabernets we’ve ever sampled! Enjoy tonight after decanting for a 96 point experience we expect to mature into 97+ points by 2015.
