Like an early morning horse ride through chaparral, this Cabernet kicks up waves of floral, mint, and dusty sage on the nose. Elevated, clear, and refreshing, this wine startles and intrigues. Across the palate a broad flood of grippy tannins is eroded by a core of velvet. Fresh and rounded, big yet steely, with hints of Kalamata olive under the primary note of blueberry, this wine has incredible focus with settled length. Delicious now, this will show added layers and depth over the next 5-15 years.
Utilizing their many years of winemaking expertise, Marietta Cellars have delivered this 2021 Cabernet that is overflowing with RICH, enticing layers of complexity, starting with that first irresistible sip. RIPE fruit, intense with flavors of dark berries and rich dark currants. LUSCIOUS texture, caressing the palate from barrel aging in American and French oak. JUICY and DEEP throughout, with a finish that lingers of black licorice, spicy pipe tobacco, cassis & well integrated, rich tannins on the long, layered finish. Stunning!

“The 2021 Armé is another superb wine from Marietta Cellars. Fresh, savory and super- expressive, the Armé Cabernet has a lot going on. Black cherry, sage, lavender, mint and anise notes give the wine striking savory nuance to play off the dark Cabernet Sauvignon fruit. More than anything else, though, the Armé is a superb value in California Cabernet.” —Spirited Wines

The 2021 Armé Cabernet Sauvignon is blended with 10% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot. It has pretty tones of blueberries and black cherries with nuances of lavender, thyme and underbrush. The palate is medium-bodied, chalky and refreshing, with surprising depth of crunchy fruit and floral sparks across the long, juicy finish.
