Arietta Cabernet Blend Quartet 2013
The Arietta Quartet tastes more expensive than it actually is. This opulent Bordeaux-style blend is an incredibly intense and serious wine. Copious quantities of exotic spices and intense fruit launch from the glass. Dense, ripe, and full-bodied, withplush tannins, this magnificent effort displays a core of cassis, blackberry, blueberry, and caramel complemented 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 2025.
