Marietta Ovr Lot 75 750ml

Affectionately known as “OVR,” Old Vine Red is a proprietary red wine made to replicate the field blends of the old vineyards in Sonoma and Mendocino counties. A groundbreaking combination of varietals and multiple vintages first produced in 1982, this wine has blazed the path for red blends for decades. Predominantly comprised of fresh, young Zinfandel, OVR gets its backbone from Petite Sirah with about three years of age in neutral barrel, and its savory component from Syrah with about two years of age in neutral barrel. Old Vine Red is made with integrity and combines pure fruit, a supple mouth feel and a rich, solid structure. Punching WAY above it’s weight class, a wine that never dissapoints.

Grape Varietals:

70% Zinfandel, 15% Syrah, 5% Petite Sirah, 5% Merlot, 3% Grenache, 2% Barbera

"For those of us who have been drinking California wines for almost 50 years, Old Vine Red is what we consider a legacy wine, one that we drank when we were young because we liked it and could afford it, and will still check in on from time to time. In a time emphasizing varietal wines, it was also an early blend that wasn’t a jug wine and didn’t carry a vintage date. This one has a lovely fruit and floral aroma, smooth cherry and berry fruits on the palate, and a lightly tart finish to complete everything.
