| 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 intense, powerful Syrah-based wine is grown mostly on our McDowell Valley property which has a long history of championing Rhone varietals. Co-fermented with Viognier, the Syrah expresses violet, tar, and rich earth. Petite Sirah from Alexander Valley brings chewy bitter chocolate, while Grenache grown at 1400 feet elevation in the Yorkville highlands keeps the wine bright and juicy. Full-bodied and fleshy, this wine is dark and brooding yet silky and smooth. |
| 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. ?
