Arietta Hudson Vineyards Merlot 2013

$75

  A fantastic top Napa Merlot from Arietta and former Screaming Eagle winemaker Andy Erickson. Limited. 96 Points Antonio Galloni (Vinous):  "The 2013 Merlot Hudson Vineyard emerges from the oldest vines in Lee Hudson's famous Carneros vineyard. Deep, rich and unctuous, yet impeccably balanced throughout, the 2013 is a real head-turner. Layers of fruit open up in a distinctive, Merlot endowed with real depth and personality. The 2013 is even better from bottle than it was from barrel.."

One of the biggest Merlots I've ever encountered. Night 1, it was in an "inward" state.......dark, tannic, not so friendly, but with tons of potential. Came back to it 2 days later and it's a pleasure bomb if a wine. Deep cassis, sweet plum, graphite, and more. Mouthfeel had loosened up, but this still has a long life ahead of it. Arietta's wines are some of the best deals out there imho when it comes to that upper echelon of producers.

Lovely Merlot - evolving nicely on the glass. Herbal notes on the nose. Well balanced. Lots of tannins present with good balance and a medium long finish.
