NV Marietta Old Vine Red Lot 42

Winery: Marietta
Wine: Red Wine: Zin, Petite Sirah, Carignane
Retail: $11.99

Description: "Old Vine Red is a proprietary red wine that is round, smooth, “Zinfandel-like,” and noted for its balance, approachability, and consistency. It is primarily comprised of Zinfandel, Petite Sirah and Carignane as well as smaller amounts of Cabernet and Syrah. Various Italian varietals round out the blend."


Review: 88. Ruby, port like appearance. Very fruity and bright, accessible, with light spice and background structure. Strainghtfoward and yummy. Great choice for a 'beginner' red or basic table wine.
