Marietta Cellars Roman Estate Zinfandel 2021
Lovely aromas of berry galette with a touch of crisped brown sugar with added complexity from under notes of rose petal and orange zest. The broad and gentle palate offers ripe grilled peach and finishes clean with pepper and tangy anise.

| The 2021 Román Zinfandel is juicy, alluring and easy to drink without sacrificing complexity, offering tremendous quality for its modest price. Blended with 4% Petite Sirah and 4% Barbera, the nose is bursting with kaleidoscopic yellow peaches, strawberries and raspberries plus nuances of sage, aniseed and Angostura bitters. The medium-bodied palate has a finely chalky frame, fireworks of fresh acidity and generous layers of spicy fruit that call you back for another sip. |

| A bright ruby color, the 2021 Zinfandel Roman is juicy and inviting with aromas of peach puree, red plum, and crushed flowers. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has a more sanguine, iron-rich feel, with a supple texture, fine tannins, and a refreshing lift in the finish. A solid value, it’s sure to be a crowd pleaser of a wine to enjoy over the near term. |
