When it comes to wine, The Golden State is America’s pride and joy. From its prized Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, to its rich Russian River Pinots noirs, to its naturalized all-American Sonoma County Zinfandel, to its rich, creamy Chardonnay and its unfairly unsung Sauvignons Blancs, it’s a good bit of an understatement to say that California has a whole lot going on.

Marietta Cellars Old Vine Red Lot Number 59
Produced from Zinfandel, Petite Sirah and Carignane primarily from vineyards in Sonoma and Mendocino counties, Marietta Cellars Old Vine Red replicates the old Cal‑Ital field blends there. Characteristically deep ruby in color with forward Zin aromas suggesting blackberry and spiced plum; at once balanced and generous, lush and supple on the tongue with a nicely rounded and mouth‑filling finish — the same up‑front and delicious wine we've come to know and love over these last fifty‑something lots. And, true as its ever‑blue label, Marietta Cellars Old Vine Red remains steadfast in its value.

2009 Carpe Diem Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
Produced from 96% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Petit Verdot fruit from choice vineyards in the Napa Valley and under the supervision of none other than Christian Moueix of Dominus Estate and Château Petrus fame. Lovely deep ruby in color with aromas redolent of a fine winegrowing soil, cassis, sweet tobacco leaf, toasted baguette; supple on entry, then expanding to polished and round with smooth soft tannins that carry fresh vivid Cabernet flavors long to the finish. Superb value in classic Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon!
