"Full-bodied yet surprisingly soft, this mouth filling wine offers plenty of thick, juicy black fruits and pepper with intense notes of blueberries, lavender, and dried flowers. There’s not a hard edge, but the wine is intense and richly textured. There’s an earthy, volcanic aroma of tar, smoke, and juicy, ripe blueberry notes."

--------THE PRODUCER--------

Marietta Cellars

Marietta Cellars is a small winery that is found in the Geyserville sub-region of California. The foundation of the winery is 'Family'. Marietta Cellars started some 50 years ago through the hard work put in by the father of the now owners: Jake and Scott Bilboro. The traditions of hard work, working alongside and making great wines that you can be proud of have been instilled in the Bilboro brothers for many years. They are a truly modern and sustainable winery that is making high quality wines at decent price points because there is one thing they cherish above hard work and respect: wine is made for drinking and enjoying.

--------THE GRAPE--------

Rhone Red Blend

The Rhone Red Blend is often known as the GSM blend whereby the three main grapes are Grenache, Syrah and Mouvedre. In actuality there can be up to 13 grapes made into this blend, by law, in the southern Rhone Valley. You can have lighter and more floral versions of the Rhone Red Blend or have bolder and oakier versions depending where in the world it is made. They are most popular in France, California and Australia.

--------THE REGION--------

California

California is the United States of America's largest and most important wine region. It produces 90% of the USA's total production - with the fair majority of that being red wines. Since it is 'always sunny in California' it is the perfect region to grow red grapes that need a lot of heat to ripen up. This has lead to Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and an Italian grape varietal: Primitivo (Californian's call in Zinfandel) to being the most important red grapes. Chardonnay is the leading white followed by Sauvignon Blanc.
