About

Rating:

94

The 2012 Red Wine Variation One is plump, juicy and immediate. Red stone fruit, pomegranate, blood orange, mint and sweet spice are all pushed forward. Exotic, perfumed and also quite silky on the palate, the 2012 impresses for its spherical texture and exceptional balance.

Product Description:

This premium Syrah and Merlot blend from Napa Valley makes for a very full bodied, fruit forward, and smokey style of red wine. The 2012 is finally settling in and drinking incredibly well as we speak!

"The majestic, broad-shouldered Arietta Red Wine Variation One 2012 looks as much to the Rhone as it does to Bordeaux for inspiration. In recent vintages we have allowed the Syrah to come forward in the blend and have reduced the percentage of new oak to 50%. Extraordinarily deep, rich, and long, the Arietta Variation One 2012, softened by the addition of Merlot and the reduced new oak, welcomes enjoyment now." - Winery
