  June 25, 2023 - Very well balanced wine. Comes in with 14.8% ABV and you can’t even tell on the palate. Oak, black currant, cherry, dark fruits, anise, finish of leather and cloves. Very well “old style” new world wine. Great for a week night pour.

  May 3, 2023 - With Rib Eye….
  Very Primary but seems to have good depth.
  Lots of Black Cherry, some Currants and a touch of Vanilla, Violets in the background. Needs time.
  Revisit 2027.

  January 20, 2023 - Nice….not overly complex but well balanced. Kinda doesn’t taste exactly like a Bordeaux but doesn’t tast entirely new world either. For price I will get more of these.

  October 23, 2022 - Anton’s Wine Tasting Notes. Winery: Marietta “Armé”
  Varietal: Blend: 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, 4% Malbec, 2% Petit Verdot
  Area/Appellation: California/ North Coast
  Vintage: 2019. Price: $27 Jacob East Wichita Kansas
  Color: purple almost opaque slight tinge of ruby. Legs: slow
  Nose: muted restrained, showing some blackberry, old wood, cassis, dried prune, bell pepper.
  Palate: red fruits (lingonberry, plum, pomegranate) some black cherry and dried cassis berries
  Finish: lingonberry, dried cassis, pomegranate, stewed cherries, noticeable wood, Lingering dried red and black fruits kind of a hodgepodge actually, no symphonic composition.
  Comments: My mind keeps going and telling me, “What if they have done this in 100% new French Nevers Oak for 12 months? ” I’m sure they used older oak barrels to save some money and keep the cost down but then again I think the old wood took something away from the varietal composition. Don’t get me wrong it’s a nice wine but I would have paid an extra $10 or even $15 to see what it turned out like in 100% new oak. The website clearly states it was aged for 20 months in neutral barrels. Decanted for 2.5 hours.
  Pairing Suggestions: I would tend to side with the more exotic and gamier flavored meats. Although it doesn’t have that Bordeaux style earth, it does possess unusual characteristics that make and favor exotic and game meats. I’m thinking duck also and pheasant.
  Score in terms of Vintage: 89
  Score for the Wine: 89
  Value for the Money: Very Good
