The Annual Arietta Library Offering
The heart of winter pulls us into the deepest recesses of Arietta’s Library. It is raining, the fireplace is lit, we are in the kitchen or at table eating root vegetables and wild game, and drinking mature Arietta wine. Now is the time of year we open wide the Arietta Library doors to share pristine aged Ariettas with you.
This year’s Arietta Library offering carries us all the way back to the great 2002 vintage, represented by Arietta Red Wine Variation One. It features verticals of Arietta’s flagship blend of Cabernet Franc and Merlot, the H Block Hudson Vineyards, dating back to the 2004 vintage, which will afford many Arietta subscribers their first opportunities to taste these wines. We will shine a light one last time on the most intense Arietta White Wine ever made—the 2012 White Keys Artist’s Reserve. And give current subscribers a last swing at the not to be missed Arietta Cabernet Sauvignon from the heralded 2012 vintage—in magnum. Here is our offering, with these small allocations available for one week subject to prior sale:
