Marietta
Marietta Cellars is located just outside the little town of Geyserville in one of California's premier wine growing regions, Sonoma County. Owner and winemaker Chris Bilbro initially founded Marietta Cellars in 1979 in an abandoned cow barn in the Dry Creek Valley. Over the last twenty-two years, Chris has developed a product of incredible consistency both in quality and price with relatively complete anonymity.
The grapes are primarily from Sonoma and Mendocino County and grown in older, dry-farmed vineyards with limited production per acre. These are grapes that produce wines with the maximum concentration of fruit and complex flavors.
The initial case production for Marietta Cellars' Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon was only about 3,000 cases combined. Today, case production nears 35,000. The wines currently produced are Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, Syrah, a proprietary blend called Old Vine Red, and a limited-quantity special blend called Angeli Cuvée. Occasionally, a Port is added to the line-up.
Marietta Cellars continues the tradition of family involvement. Chris' four sons are active in winery activities at various levels…Jake, Scot, and Sam have more recently been joined by brother Lucas, who is now six. Marietta Cellars wines are sold in 48 states as well as Canada, Europe, Thailand, New Zealand, and Japan. Because of the limited production and allocation of the wines, there are no tours, tastings, or retail sales on the premises.
The wines of Marietta Cellars are a personification of Chris Bilbro's personality, outlook on life, and general lifestyle. Chris believes that good wine is the perfect complement to good food and good friends. Pleasurable pursuits such as cooking, fishing, hunting, gardening, and entertaining add balance to the flavor of wine, as they do to life.

The 2007 vintage yielded smaller berries than what we normally see in our vineyards. This translates to firm fruit tannin and density of flavors in the resulting wine, which is just what we like with our Angeli Cuvee. The aromas are deep and rich with layers of dark berry fruits, ... more
