It would be difficult to overstate just how delicious this multi-vintage red blend is: it is the quintessential party red that can be paired with anything - every appetizer you could even imagine. This is old school California wine, wine that predates the boom. This is what the farmers were making and drinking during prohibition, even before prohibition. Red blends that love the ocean influenced sunshine and warmth and return California's natural beneficence to you with every sip. Affectionately known as “OVR,” Marietta’s 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. With an historic underground following, it is one of the longest lasting and best known red blends produced today. Predominantly composed 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. Occasionally, other varieties like Merlot, Barbera, Carignan, or Grenache will be blended in for other elements. The goal is always an enjoyable table wine made with integrity that combines pure fruit, a supple mouth feel and a rich, solid structure.
