A blend of 74% Sauvignon Blanc and 26% Semillon, the 2019 Arietta white wine jolts the palate with a burst of positive energy. It is incredibly fresh, with notes of meyer lemon, white peach, and orange peel mingling with hints of vanilla bean, pie crust, and rushing river. The aromas are brilliant, showing a panoply of subtle floral scents—star jasmine, gardenia, and magnolia, among others. Aging on the lees for 9 months brings a breadth to the wine, making the finish bright and expansive. While fruit and freshness are the main appeal right now, this wine will certainly cellar well, as is the case for previous vintages of On the White Keys.
