Marietta Cellars Marietta Armé 2021 750ml

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. (Erin Brooks)

The 2022 Arme is another gorgeous wine in this range from Marietta. Bold and racy in the glass, with generous forward fruit, the 2022 is all charm. Succulent red cherry, spice, blood orange, cedar, sweet pipe tobaco and crushed leaves all meld together. This mid-weight, flavorful Cabernet Sauvignon delivers the goods, big time. Dollops of Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot round out the blend.

The 2021 Armé is a tasty Cabernet Sauvignon-based blend from Marietta. Gravel, scorched earth, tobacco, incense, leather and menthol add layers of nuance to a core of dark-toned fruit. This somber, virile red packs plenty of intensity into its mid-weight frame. (Antonio Galloni)
