WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
The 2020 Arietta Cabernet Sauvignon was sourced entirely from Arietta’s 1.7-acre block in the Meteor Vineyard in the heart of Coombsville, just east of the City of Napa. The 22-acre Meteor vineyard, planted in 1999 by noted viticulturist Mike Wolf and still managed by him, produces the highest quality fruit in Coombsville.
TASTING NOTES:
Sourced from Coombsville's Meteor Vineyard, Arietta's 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits wonderfully pure notes of cassis and blueberry, plus dark, earthy tones and hints of cedar shavings and vanilla. It's medium to full-bodied, richly concentrated and velvety, with ample length and a bright, fresh finish that balances the dark fruit-and-earth profile. Best After 2024
-Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 pts.
A deeply colored and extracted red with aromas of dark chocolate, walnuts, dried leaves, blackcurrants and cassis. Dense and full-bodied, with firm, chewy tannins that dominate. Dark and brooding. 100% cabernet sauvignon. Best after 2026.
