Marietta "Roman" 2020 Estate Grown Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, Barbera, North Coast

Bursting with black cherry, this Zinfandel shows a clear, pure expression of fruit with a warm, broad note of sage and delicate rose petal adding complexity. Pleasantly grippy and vibrant across the palate, the richness is balanced by a piquant fore-mouth focus. Notes of pie crust and cedar bring a sweet spiciness. This wine is bright, clean, and refreshing, without any heaviness. It pairs wonderfully with food and, thanks to its acid, can handle savory, sweet, or even rich, meaty fare.
