Arietta Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Arietta Cabernet Sauvignon 202197 Pts Jeb Dunnuck: "The star of the show is the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon, a stunningly pure, full bodied Cabernet Sauvignon that comes from two vineyards in the Coombsville appellation. Reminding me of a great vintage of Chteau Mouton Rothschild with its broad, expansive texture, this inky hued beauty has tons of ripe black fruits, notes of leafy herbs, tobacco, and cedar pencil, ripe tannins, a stacked mid palate, and one heck of a great finish.
