2020 Marietta Cellars Román Zinfandel

North Coast Zinfandel Blend, Zinfandel more

5/25/2024 - andrewfowler Likes this wine: 89 points

A wine that splits the difference between the more familiar, fruity Zinfandels of California and some wilder and more experimental contemporary approaches to winemaking. It’s pretty approachable – hey, it tastes like plums and cherry cordials and raspberry liqueur and baking spice, come on in! But there’s a little tartness, a little verve, that makes it quite interesting. I could see a beardo natural-wine snob and a Kendall-Jackson wine mom, against all odds, finding true love over a bottle of this. Blessed be their union.

Excellent wine, deep garnet color, earthy, chocolate and herbal nose, sour cherry palette and strong body and lingering finish.

As a previous taster noted, this need 30 plus minutes to open up. At that point, it showed an expressive nose, and blue and dark fruits. As CA syrahs go, this was on the bigger end of medium in terms of style.

Extreme mix of Zinfandel petite Vaux and Barbera grape.

You expect the black pepper and white pepper finish but you get this odd almost black licorice taste. Not as good as I recall.

Vin Chicago Pickup Party & Tasting (Bobak's Signature Events): Retailer tasting. Deep inky color. Notes of chocolate, clay and dried herbs underneath an abundance of nicely ripened black fruit. Full-bodied and flamboyant, with lush dark fruit, spice and chocolate. Good in this style, and well-priced to boot.

Very flat tasting compared to the first bottle I tried 10 months ago (in June 2023). Although the bottle is non-vintage (NV), I then linked to what some members indicated as a 2019 (seems plausible). Have noticed a few others' tasting notes that noted occasional inconsistency, and also wondering if it's already past its prime.

I'll give it another day and see if it gets better. Drank tonight without aerating, but even with the second pour from the open bottle sitting in the glass for a while, it wasn't any better. Withholding a rating for now; when tasted in June 2023, I gave it an 88.

... another day didn't help it much. This is now an 84, i.e., good but certainly not great.

I thought it was ok. Too acidic and almost has a salinity or briny note (olive maybe). Not for me.

Was just thinking how much I love this wine. I love Cabs too and this wine reminds me of good Napa Cabs. Nuff said. 4.5 stars

Solid as ever. This would be a great dinner party wine to buy in bulk. It's got enough going on to make it interesting, is inexpensive enough to not break most peoples' budgets, and it works on its own or with a variety of less delicate fare from trout in brown butter sauce to grilled meats to pot roast.

3/22/2024 - Sid G Likes this wine: 88 points

Initially, rather closed but opened up into a wine with nice blueberry fruitiness. Medium body, more tannin and structure than is typical for a Zinfandel, and moderately high acid. Long finish. A more interesting and complex Zin than most, although perhpas not as much easy drinking fun as the typical Zinfandel "fruit bomb."

Interesting wine. Lots of dark fruits but with a lot of earthy/savory characteristics. Fair amount of structure. If you’re holding on to it I feel like it’s best days are ahead.

Lovely. Decanted this for about 3 hours because it’s young. 1 of 2 Cab Sauv’s we paired with our St. Paddy’s dinner of Irish sausages, champ, onion stout gravy and peas. Lovely pairing, this is a terrific food wine. It’s elegant, well balanced, and the long decant smoothed the tannins. From a south facing high elevation vineyard in the Yorkville Highlands AVA of Mendocino, just north of Sonoma County.

It is a classic well done California Zin. Has Zin notes, body and structure. Extracted and big, with close to 15% alcohol. Has structure, fruit and balance with acidity which means it will last. Black fruits and spices are there.

Bold wine. Black and blue fruits, tobacco spice, bit of chocolate. Balanced with dry tannins, minerals, and some acids. Needs some air. Gave it a 93 initially and it could still get there with a little more time.

Just a touch of eucalyptus to it. And a little black currant. And then also a touch more tension on the palate. Ryan notes that its fairly rich on the palate.
