95 Points  Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
“The NV OVR Lot 73 is composed mainly of Zinfandel with smaller portions of Syrah, Petite Sirah, Carignan and Barbera. Medium ruby, it offers intense red cherry, blood orange and apricot perfume with accents of rooibos tea leaves, red licorice, saline, lilac and loads of spicy nuances. The medium-bodied palate is light on its feet with soft tannins, bursts of refreshing acidity and detailed amaro accents on the long finish. This is so easy to drink!”
 

Our Thoughts on this wine.....

Lot Number 73 is bright and juicy, with strawberry, lilac and black raspberry notes supported by savory notes of briar and slate.
The fruity and fresh Zinfandel 2020 is given added complexity and length by barrel aged Syrah and Petite Sirah from 2019 and 2018.
A touch of Grenache and Barbera add a more complex red fruit character and hint of red licorice and white pepper.
Pair the Old Vine Red with almost any food: pasta, burgers, roasted vegetables, mushrooms, even tacos!

A bit about Marietta & Sonoma County....

Marietta is a second generation, estate driven family winery, founded on the belief that winemaking at its best is a creative and instinctual act.
Farming unique and historical growing sites in Sonoma and Mendocino counties,
we produce three tiers of deep, bright, expressive wines:
Our Single Estate Series honors special sites,
our Family Series pays tribute to our family’s four generations in winemaking,
and the OVR Series is anchored by our flagship Old Vine Red,
the beloved unconventional proprietary red wine that founded Marietta forty years ago.

Sonoma County
Home to a diverse array of smaller AVAs with varied microclimates and soil types, Sonoma County has something for every wine lover. Physically twice as large as Napa Valley, the region only produces about half the amount of wine but boasts both tremendous quality and variety. With its laid-back atmosphere and down-to-earth attitude, the wineries of Sonoma are appreciated by wine tourists for their friendliness and approachability. The entire county intends to become a 100% sustainable winegrowing region by 2019.
 
Sonoma County wines are produced with carefully selected grape varieties to reflect the best attributes of their sites—Dry Creek Valley’s consistent sunshine is ideal for Zinfandel, while the warm Alexander Valley is responsible for rich, voluptuous red wines like Cabernet Sauvignon. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are important throughout the county, most notably in the cooler AVAs of Russian River, Sonoma Coast and Carneros. Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot and Syrah have also found a firm footing here.
