2012 Arietta "On The White Keys" California White
93
Vinous
Review Date: 10/2016The 2012 On The White Keys is rich and luscious, yet also shows good detail. Time in bottle has softened the edges nicely. The 2012 is in a real sweet spot today where the Sauvignon aromatics have begun to mellow and the fruit is front and center. Dried apricot, honey, mint, French oak and chamomile meld into the silky, inviting finish. (AG)

Notes
93 points, Stephen Tanzer for Vinous: "Bright, green-tinged yellow. Lovely perfume combines pungent lime skin, stone fruits, lemon drop and essential oils. Dense, sappy and opulent yet somehow weightless, conveying a powerful impression of energy to the flavors of nectarine, lime oil and honey. The semillon contributes roundness. Finishes sexy and long, in need of a year or so in bottle to develop more complexity. Always a splendid blend." (5/2014)
