This wine is especially noteworthy for its fruit purity and intensity. Aromatically, the wine is incredibly exuberant, with notes of fresh-picked blueberries, red raspberries, and blackberry pie, along with vanilla bean and subtle hints of freshly-toasted oak. With its black-purple opacity and blue-fruited richness and depth, the Arietta Merlot masks its power with rounded edges and a seductive demeanor that makes is irresistible right now.
