VINEYARD NOTES
Marietta Cellars is a family-owned winery with estate vineyards spanning diverse microclimates in Sonoma and Mendocino counties. The Alexander Valley brings concentration and ripeness, McDowell contributes floral elegance, and Yorkville Highlands adds acidity and minerality. Their dry-farming and sustainable practices aim to express true terroir and complexity in every vintage.
TASTING NOTES
This wine opens with dark aromas of blackberry, cassis, and dried herbs. On the palate, it delivers layers of black cherry, cocoa, cedar, and spice, supported by firm tannins and balanced acidity. A long, structured finish with hints of graphite and toasted oak adds depth. Armé is approachable in its youth but rewards cellaring with enhanced complexity and refinement.
