2020 Arietta Quartet Red Blend, Napa County   

Arietta Quartet is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot from carefully chosen vineyard blocks in the Napa Valley. Aged for 20 months in 32% new French oak barrels, the Arietta Quartet 2020 is approachable upon release, but rich enough to age well for 10 years or more. The label features a drawing of the string quartet's instruments by an eight-year-old Libby Hatton, a future proprietor of Arietta, over a manuscript of the famous Cavatina movement from Beethoven’s String Quartet Opus 130.
