Smart insiders know that one of the world's most attractive dry red wine values is Marietta's Old Vine Red. There are abundant quantities (12,000 cases) of Lot 14, composed of 58% Zinfandel, 34% Petite Sirah, and the remainder Gamay and Carignan, but this wine jumps off retailers' shelves as quickly as it arrives. And why shouldn't it? This dark ruby/purple-colored wine possesses a stunning nose of black fruits (plums, cassis, and cherries), medium to full body, terrific richness, a supple, chewy, fleshy texture, and a long, ripe, heady finish. A mouthfilling, gutsy, exceptionally well-made red wine, it is an amazing value! Moreover, this satiny smooth wine is capable of lasting for 7-8 years. Kudos to Marietta Cellars for offering reasonably priced thrills to wine consumers!Tel. (707) 433-2747.
