RATINGS

94Vinous / IWC

A captivating interplay of rich, tropically leaning flavors meet Sonoma Mountain intensity in this pedigreed white. Candied lemon peel, mint, apricot jam, spices and almonds... Unctuous, oily and generous this is absolutely gorgeous today.

92Robert M. Parker Jr.

Loads of melony fruit, white currants, quince, and caramelized fig are all present in this beautiful wine, which shows a subtle touch of oak. Powerful and authoritative, this is a beauty to drink over the next several years.

PRODUCER

Arietta

Arietta was founded in 1996 by wine specialist and auctioneer Fritz Hatton, his wife Caren and winemaker John Kongsgaard and his wife Maggie. Starting with a small block of vineyards on the Hudson Ranch in Napa/Carneros, Arietta has added other vineyards in the decades since then. The label features a few bars of the musical manuscript of Beethoven’s Arietta movement from his last piano sonata, which was Opus 111. Arietta’s founders are music lovers. Andy Erickson is the winemaker today and estate produces Bordeaux style blends, including a white wine.
