點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：1746

Proprietor/wine-maker, Chris Bilbro, continues to release knock-out red wines that are among California's most exciting offerings. His Old Vine Red is a must purchase for not only readers who love fleshy, full-bodied, robust, well-made red wines, but for consumers seeking considerable richness and personality in an under $10 wine. The Lot 15 is made from 25% Petite Sirah, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Carignane, and the rest Zinfandel and other red wine grapes. This opaque purple-colored wine offers up huge quantities of sweet black-cherries and cassis, intermixed with scents of pepper, truffles, and spices. Full-bodied, with a kirsch-like flavor, this dense, chewy, fleshy wine is California's answer to a top-notch Chateauneuf du Pape. There may be 10,000 cases of this superb wine, but it disappears quickly from the shelves of retailers. If readers have not yet learned the formula here, it is: Marietta Cellars = high quality, modest prices, and considerable pleasure! Tel. and Fax (707) 433-2747
