Arietta Cabernet Blend Quartet 2018
Once again, Quartet is a sumptuous blend of four varietals: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Petit Verdot all combine for a harmonious (pun intended) experience guaranteed to thrill the senses. Vivid fresh fruit and exotic spices combine to create a dense, ripe, and full-bodied Cabernet blend that tastes quite serious (i.e. reminiscent of big name reds such as Cardinale and Dominus). With plush tannins, this magnificent effort displays a core of cassis, blackberry, mocha and caramel complemented by creamy vanilla oak on the prodigious finish. Enjoy tonight after decanting for a distinguished experience we expect to mature gracefully through 2027. Well worth 96+ points now and likely to garner 97 in the coming years.
