Arietta
H Block Hudson Vineyards Cabernet Franc Merlot
Carneros, North Coast, California, USA
Arietta Wines lunch with owner Fritz. We were able to taste through some current releases as well as some reserve wines Fritz brought with him personally. A treat to enjoy these Andy Erickson wines!
This felt like it was just starting to hit its drinking window. Very pretty and aromatic. Potpourri, lavender, dusted dark cocoa bits, plum and savory smoke on the nose with underripe blackberries, baking spices and nutmeg. Lovely.

Almost 50/50 merlot and cab franc blend. Much more compact showing. Needs time to unfurl. Not big or brash. Give this time, as time will take this to an even better place. Pristine tannic structure. Again, loving the coffee notes.

Damn. As unique as they come for a seemingly well trodden path; Napa x Right Bank. Move over Pinot; Carneros grows compelling Bordeaux & Rhone varietals. Hudson is evidence. #swc #spotlightbrands
