Marietta Cellars Armé Cabernet Sauvignon North Coast, CA 750ml

Marietta Cellars Armé Cabernet Sauvignon is a full-bodied red wine from California's North Coast, crafted by the family-owned Marietta Cellars winery in Sonoma County. The wine takes its name from Armé, a colorful family member married to the namesake Marietta, whose storied past included time in prison during Prohibition—a heritage that speaks to the winery's spirited and independent character.

This Cabernet Sauvignon is blended with small proportions of Merlot, Malbec, and Petit Verdot to add rounding and complexity. On the nose, pleasantly herbal scents of blackcurrant, black plum, grilled peppers, dried minty herbs, and lavender open into bright cherry, plum, and hints of violet. The full-bodied palate delivers concentrated, perfumed fruit balanced by clay-textured tannins and juicy acidity, finishing long with graphite, leather, tobacco, and a touch of black olive complexity.

Rated 91 points by both Robert Parker's Wine Advocate and Jeb Dunnuck, this wine is sumptuous yet racy—polished yet spirited. 14% ABV. 750ml bottle.
