Very generous on the palate, with black cherry and raspberry yielding to a bit of cinnamon, espresso and a kiss of sweet French oak. Long and silky, with...

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.

With notes of cut flowers, black cherries and cassis exploding from the glass, sumptuous fruit and complex notes of espresso, clove, and graphite coat the palate. This is delicious now, but will easily cellar well over...
