Arietta's 2015 H Block Hudson Vineyards seems to have been missed during a past reviewer transition, so this is the first Wine Advocate review of it. As always, a co-fermented blend of Cabernet Franc and Merlot, it looks impressively primary at age 10. Leafy notes accent black cherries, both gliding easily over a rich base of dark chocolate and mocha in this full-bodied wine. Still somewhat restrained and even sullen, it seems to have more left to give, although the tannins are nicely softened.
