Marietta Cellars Old Vine Red Lot Number 64
Non-Varietal Red Blend
| Description: | Marietta Cellarts has been making this mulit-vintage, primarily Zinfandel-based red for over 30 years. Aromas of red fruit are supported by darker fruit on the palate with licorice, mineral, and spice. The terroir of the wine's Sonoma and Mendocino County origins lend themselves to an acidty that concisely drives the finish of this traditional field blend. Review Scot Bilbro continues to make gorgeous wines at Marietta Cellars. In recent years, Bilbro has introduced a mid tier of blends (Roman, Arme and Christo) and a higher-end range (Zinfandel Angeli, Cabernet Sauvignon Game Trail and Syrah Estate Gibson Block). Marietta's Old Vine Red remains one of the best American wines in its price range, while the newer mid-tier range delivers the best bang for the buck in this portfolio.Bilbro crafts wonderfully aromatic, flavorful wines full of character. - From Sonoma's Stellar 2016s (Apr 2018) by Antonio Galloni. Wine maker notes Old Vine Red is our modern California version of an Old World table wine - one that can be enjoyed with food or without, for a special occasion or for simple pleasure. It is a non-vintage blend of mostly Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, and Carignane with small amounts of other varieties included for complexity. Old Vine Red is a delicious, well-made, textured and balanced wine that continues to be amazingly consistent 30 years after the first lot was released. Food pairing This wine is delicious and is wonderful on its own yet also has the complexity and density to compliment anything from chicken or pasta to short ribs. Producer Marietta Cellars, located just outside of Geyserville in Sonoma County, was founded by Chris Bilbro in 1978. In recent years Chris's sons, Jake and Scot, representing the second generation, have taken over most of the responsibilities. Marietta Cellars wines are consistent, concentrated, complex and, most importantly, pleasurable. "For over three decades one of the greatest values in dry California red wine has been the nonvintage kitchen sink blend from the Bilbro's family-owned Marietta Cellars…This wine flies off retailers' shelves, so smart consumers take note."
