The 2017 Aria has plenty of peppery, wild, gamey notes as well as ripe red and black fruits, a kiss of spring flowers and bacon fat, medium to full body, ripe yet present tannins, and a great finish.
Medium ruby-purple in color, tar and graphite notes dissapate to classic aromas of cracked pepper, aniseed and black currants that belie the intensity of the palate and its Goldilocks ripeness. It has fine, rounded tannins, seamless acidity and a very long, mineral-driven finish. 96 points, Wine Advocate
Deep ruby-purple, it opens with streaks of flint that give way to a savory core of cherry, fernet, leather and desiccated flowers, calling you back to the glass again and again as it shifts and opens to finer earthy nuances. The medium-bodied palate is supple and seamless with energetic acidity and a long, very layered finish. 96 points, Wine Advocate
Medium ruby-purple, it opens with streaks of flinty reduction that complement its core of black fruit. The full-bodied palate is fresh and chalky with crunchy fruits and a pleasing long, herbal finish. 94 points, Wine Advocate
Wild herbs, scorched earth, olives, wet stones and black currants form a dark and complex bouquet as the 2020 Aria slowly awakens in the glass. 93 points, Eric Guido, Vinous
A pretty rush of crushed violets, candied citrus and sweet smoke gives way to vivid blackberry as the Sonata blossoms in the glass. 94 points, Eric Guido, Vinous
