Former Screaming Eagle winemaker’s  96 Point & UNDER $90 Cab blend ROCKS

Arietta is the name for wines born of a passion for music. The name Arietta, meaning short aria or art song, expresses our belief that all great wines must sing. Both wine & song should “take flight,” in the course of which the qualities of balance, vibrancy, depth, overtones, and complexity resonate and give us a sense of exaltation. Add ANDY ERICKSON, the longtime Screaming Eagle, Dalla Valle, etal winemaker and you have the keys to success!

FMW 96 Points: “The 2021 Quartet is a blend of  83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Cabernet Franc, 5% Merlot, and 1% Petit Verdot . The lush wine offers up full body showing of a purple colored hue,   bright aromas of black plums, chocolate, blackberry and a hint of seasoned herbs spiciness. The 2021 Quartet if loaded on the palate with bold and bright fruit and a touch of spice, that lead into a long finish with silky granited tannins."

Winemaker Notes: ” The 2021 Quartet wonderfully captures the vibrancy and depth of the 2021 vintage, a year of very little rainfall and warm California summer days. The wine is a blend of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Cabernet Franc, 5% Merlot, and 1% Petit Verdot, and it exhibits the full range of aromas and flavors that the blend implies. The Cabernet Sauvignon, sourced from the cooler climes of Napa Valley, drives the profile of the wine, with dark, savory tones of graphite, sage, mocha, and mint underpinning a core of black and red fruits. The Cabernet Franc provides the perfect level of spice and aromatic interest, showing notes of lavender, cardamom, and subtle fennel seed. Merlot adds a juicy blue-fruited element, and a small dose of Petit Verdot grounds the wine with earth tones and a hint of wood extract.”
