Marietta "Román" North Coast Estate Zinfandel 2022

Vinous - Antonio Galloni : 92 Points

(1/2025) The 2022 Román offers up scents of ripe red cherry fruit, cedar, tobacco, dried herbs, cinnamon and mint. This aromatic, deceptively medium-bodied Zinfandel is all charm. Barbera and Petite Sirah complement the blend, but Zinfandel character is very much front and center. Drinking Window: 2025 - 2034.

Wine Enthusiast : 93 Points

(12/1/2025) This selection is from a long-standing producer in the McDowell Valley, who also holds holdings on the North Coast. The aromas are rich dark cherry, blackberry, plum, potpourri, bittersweet chocolate, interlaced with savory herbs on the nose. The palate repeats the nose with added layers of tension, mineral, youthful fruit, and silky tannins. Aerate and Enjoy, but hold a few bottles in the cellar for development.
