Introduction

Good time tasting 4 Arietta wines with Fritz Hatton.

Flight 1 (4 Notes)

  • 2010 Arietta On the White Keys

    USA, California, Sonoma County, Sonoma Mountain

    Wine tasting. Big fruit on nose and palate, lots of grapefruit and lemon peel. Fairly prominent acid provides some good lift. A bit of overt heat on finish. Quite nice. 80% Sauvignon Blanc, 20% Semillon.

  • 2009 Arietta Quartet

    USA, California, Napa Valley

    Wine tasting. Ripe fruit on nose - plum and black currant. Same fruit on the palate with some dense, meaty spice. Good sweet tannins and some good spice elements from new oak (60%) that should easily integrate nicely. Good energy provides good energy, helping on the elegant finish.

  • 2009 Arietta Red Wine H Block Hudson Vineyards

    USA, California, Napa / Sonoma, Carneros

    Wine tasting. Lush fruit with lots of spice. About 80% Cabernet Franc which gives this wine a spicy, meaty character that comes across as a bit funky on its finish. This needs some time in bottle.

  • 2007 Arietta Variation One

    USA, California, Napa Valley

    Wine tasting. Blackberry and black cheery aromas with some sweet spice. Same flavor profile comes through on palate, supported by good balance and textures from acidity and tannins. My favorite tonight.
