2011 Arietta "On The White Keys" California White
94
Vinous
Review Date: 10/2016One of the highlights in this first flight, the 2011 On The White Keys is dense and phenolic in personality to the point it almost feels like a red wine. But what comes across most is the wine's power and overall intensity. The 2011 is gorgeous, especially if served at the dinner table. There was quite a bit of botrytis in the Sémillon, which came in late that year. The 50% new oak is impeccably balanced. What a gorgeous wine this is. (AG)

Notes
93 points, Stephen Tanzer for Vinous: "Bright yellow color. Pungent aromas of pineapple, lemon drop and botanical herbs. Tactile and glyceral-rich, but with the racy energy of the vintage giving verve and lift to the citrus and floral flavors. Really steely and fresh--and built to age. A faint note of dried fig from the botrytized semillon adds complexity to the finish." (5/2013)
