Wedding Wines 9: Marietta


Marietta Old Vine Red Lot #47, oh how I do savor this wine. This may be my favorite of all the Wedding Wines. This old vine red is primarily Zinfandel, blended with Carignane, Petite Sirah, Syrah, and Cabernet. Luscious dark fruit and plenty of peppery spice to balance it, both on the nose and palate. The color is a dark ruby purple, and the body can only be described as BIG (and complex). I tried this wine for the first time at The Elusive Grape in downtown Deland, FL, and have been drinking it ever since. This is not a wine that you only drink once; you will crave it again and again. You can find it at wine warehouses for the shocking price of $11.99!
