2022 Marietta - Arme Cabernet Sauvignon (750ml)
2022 Armé Cabernet Sauvignon
From Marietta Cellars, a family‑driven winery founded in 1978 by Chris Bilbro, the 2022 Armé Cabernet Sauvignon blends Cabernet Sauvignon with small amounts of Merlot, Malbec, and Petit Verdot to add roundness and complexity. Sourced from vineyards across Sonoma and Mendocino counties, this bottling reflects Marietta’s broader style—balance and food‑friendliness over sheer weight—while the Armé label honors an earlier generation, named for the husband of the winery’s namesake, Marietta, whose colorful Prohibition era history is part of the family lore.
The 2022 Armé opens with exuberant red fruit aromas, joined by baking spice, sage, and dried herb. On the palate, wraparound tannins guide a poised, structured mouthfeel through a finish accented with black olive.
