Description
Over the last 15 years, Arietta has developed three "Reserve" wines, for which we select and isolate a portion of the fruit in the winery to achieve wines of greater intensity and longevity without sacrificing balance. Here we blend for the first time ever Arietta's two Reserve Red Wines - the Arietta Cabernet Sauvignon "88 Keys" with the Arietta Merlot "One Eleven" - both raised in 100% new French oak and given extended aging in barrel for 28 months.
