Arietta Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

95 points                                                                  A fantastic new top Napa Cabernet from Arietta and former Screaming Eagle winemaker Andy Erickson. Limited. 95 Points Antonio Galloni (Vinous):  The Arietta 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon is absolutely gorgeous. Powerful, dark and statuesque in bearing, the 2017 is endowed with superb balance, not to mention a ton of sheer class. Inky dark purplish fruit, lavender, spice, menthol and new leather infuse the 2017 with striking layers of depth and complexity. This is such a gorgeous wine.... ...This is the finest and most complete set of wines I can remember tasting from Arietta. Proprietor Fritz Hatton and winemaker Andy Erickson seem to have reached a new level of quality with the 2012s and 2013s, both of which are brilliant. This is a fabulous showing from top to bottom."
