Marietta Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Game Trail 750ml
$78.99 $70.69 price per bottle
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 This south-facing vineyard is perched at 1400 feet of elevation overlooking the Yorkville Highlands. Coastal influence, warm days and rocky hillsides combine to create a Cabernet Sauvignon with extraordinary intensity and clarity. Wild boar, deer and mountain lion create game trails that encircle the vineyard and guide us into the woods while hunting wild Porcini and Chanterelle mushrooms. Much like the air out at the Yorkville ranch, this wine is fresh and bright. With more acidity and focus on red fruit flavors than most Cabernet, this wine is sizable and will age for decades, but has a gorgeous, perfumed elegance that is accessible now.
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. ” Wine Advocate
