Arietta--Vintage 1997
Napa Valley
"Beethoven was blaring through the speakers situated throughout the winery as I tasted this wine. Kongsgaard says the Arietta may have a Beethoven label, but it is Wagnerian in style. A blend of 85 Cabernet Franc and 15 Merlot, it ranks alongside such famed Cabernet Francs as La Jota, Pride Mountain, and the Maya Cuvée from Dalla Valle. Aromatic, with scents of black currants, cherries, flowers, leather, and spice, the stunningly rich, full-bodied Arietta displays both power and elegance. Its sweet tannin, finesse, and suppleness argue for near-term consumption, but it possesses the length and inner depth to last for 15 or more years." Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate, Issue 126, 2000
