Arietta Sauvignon Blanc On the White Keys Artists’ Reserve 2017
This is a delightfully refreshing, mouth-watering, and exotic new white wine; guaranteed to impress for a refreshing happy hour or pairing with a wide array of menus! It’s also the most uniquely creamy and delicious Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon blend we’ve discovered as it enjoys extended aging (rare for a S.B.) in new French oak . This is a one-of-a-kind bottling that possesses tremendous depth and sumptuous flavors including apricot, guava, key lime pie and white tea. The finish offers a harmonious balance between honeysuckle, citrus (ripe grapefruit) and an array of spices to tingle the palate to savor now through 2025.
