Note di degustazione
The second wine of the estate, the 2016 Red Wine Quartet is based on 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot. There are 1,100 cases and it has terrific chocolaty dark fruits, truffle, olive, and meaty aromatics, medium to full body, a rounded, supple texture, and a great finish. It has a classic Cabernet green edge, with an almost Bordeaux vibe.

The 2016 Quartet is a gorgeous second wine from Arietta that compares very favorably to the top wines at more than a few Napa Valley estates. Pliant, racy and inviting, the 2016 shows tons of allure in its dark, spiced fruit and soft curves. Drink it over the next handful of years.
The 2016 Quartet is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot. Deep purple-black in color, it features youthful, vivacious black and red currants notions with an undercurrent of black plums, mulberries, Indian spices and fragrant earth plus wafts of tobacco and new leather. Full-bodied and laden with decadent black fruit and spicy layers, it has a velvety backbone and long spicy finish.
