Arietta Quartet 2012
This opulent blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot is an exceedingly smooth and seriously satisfying experience tonight, but guaranteed to impress for at least 5-7 years to come. Copious quantities of exotic spices and intense fruit launch from the glass. Dense, ripe and full-bodied with plush 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 sampled in many moons. Enjoy tonight after decanting for a distinguished experience we expect to mature gracefully through 2021.
