Arietta Variation One Red 2013  Napa Valley - K. Laz Wine Collection
Led by winemaker Andy Erickson since its debut vintage in 2000, Arietta has produced its distinctive and virtually unique blend of Syrah and Merlot called “Variation One.”  The goal is to create a multi-layered wine of great excitement and complexity by marrying the wildness and flamboyance of Syrah to the richness and generosity of Merlot. “A blend of 48% Syrah and 52% Merlot from Hudson Vineyards, the 2013 Variation One is a powerhouse.  But for all its dark, brooding character and solid build, this wine is surprisingly bright and fresh on the palate, with flavors of red cherries, roasted meat, orange liqueur and chocolate.  It continues to open and reveal notes of campfire, baked fruits, and wet gravel. Tannins are dry and firm, helping to bolster the broad, expansive impression.  As is normal with Variation One, the tannins are dry and firm, helping to bolster the broad, expansive impression.” – Andy Erickson, winemaker. 96 cases were produced.
