2016 Arietta 'H Block Hudson Vineyards' Cabernet Franc - Merlot Napa Valley

2016 Arietta 'H Block Hudson Vineyards' Cabernet Franc - Merlot Napa Valley image

This blend of 70% Cabernet Franc and 30% Merlot takes the expression of the Hudson Vineyard terroir to a new level of complexity.  The core of the H Block cuv√©e comes from thirty-year-old Cabernet Franc vines planted on a rare volcanic outcropping just above the Hudson Merlot Cathedral. The 2016 vintage was co-fermented, taking just the heart of the Merlot block and harvesting it on the same day as the Cabernet Franc.  After aging for twenty months in two-thirds new French oak, the wine was bottled without fining or filtration to preserve the power and subtlety of the vintage.  Aromas of lavender, orange blossom, and anise are in harmony with the ripe Napa Valley fruit profile.  Solid and well textured, the wine flows across the palate, blackberry, currant, and black cherry flavors mixed with hints of dried flowers, flint, and black licorice.  This vintage of H Block will certainly age for decades to come.
