Arietta Merlot--Vintage 1998
Napa Valley
Etched label
"The 1998 Merlot is a tightly knit, structured Merlot, (remember the outstanding Merlots fashioned when John Kongsgaard was the winemaker at Newton?) revealing expressive aromas and flavors of jammy berry fruit intermixed with chocolate. Full-bodied and rich, yet backward, it requires 2-3 years of cellaring and should keep for 15-18 years." Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate, Issue 132, 12/23/00
