Introduction:
Marietta’s Old Vine Red Lot 75, fondly known as “OVR,” is a celebrated blend blending tradition and approachability. This non-vintage red seamlessly balances supple texture, juicy fruit, and grounding structure—crafted as a modern homage to the field blends of old vineyards in Sonoma and Mendocino.

Terroir:
Drawn from historic high-density vineyards across Sonoma and Mendocino counties, these old vines—planted prior to varietal-focused trends—contribute complexity, depth, and an intrinsic sense of place. The wines reflect a California legacy shaped by age, elevation, and a harmony of mixed soils.

Appearance:
Medium ruby-purple—bright, vivid, and immediately alluring in the glass.

Nose:
Fresh and enticing aromatics open with red and black plums layered with raspberries, baking spices, vanilla, and floral undertones. A subtle dash of prosciutto-like savoriness adds nuance and charm.

Palate:
This zinfandel-based blend opens with bright plum fruit and evolves into a dark, focused profile, featuring notes of briar patch and black tea. Medium-bodied with sweet spice, velvety tannins, and vibrant energy, it pairs effortlessly with any meal or occasion.*

Finish:
Clean, bright, and persistent—with lingering berry fruit, a hint of earth, and a gentle spicy cadence that makes it effortlessly drinkable.

Press:
91 Points, Robert Parker:
"The NV Old Vine Red Lot 75 has a medium ruby-purple color and is scented with red and black plums, raspberry candy, powdered sugar, prosciutto, and floral potpourri. The medium-bodied palate is rounded and bright with understated, earth-laced fruit and a softly spicy finish. That herbal edge and juicy acidity make this wonderfully easy to drink!"

Overall Impression:
A classic, welcoming red that does justice to its old-vine roots. It’s supple and energetic, ideal for everyday enjoyment but with enough texture and balance to pair well with robust fare or light aging.
