Join us in welcoming Owner and Winemaker Scott Bilbro to our Lamp & Lantern Location on Thursday May 14th from 5-6:30 for a special tasting event:
Few wineries capture the spirit of Sonoma quite like Marietta. Since 1978, when Chris Bilbro founded the winery, the focus has been simple: produce authentic, high-quality wines that people actually want to drink—no shortcuts, no inflated pricing.
Now under the direction of Scott Bilbro, Marietta continues to evolve while staying grounded in that original philosophy. The upcoming tasting offers a rare opportunity to explore the full range of what makes this winery so compelling.
A Lineup That Tells the Story
This isn’t just a tasting—it’s a deep dive into Marietta’s identity, from site-driven wines to everyday standouts:
- Christo Rhône Blend 2021 – A nod to southern Rhône tradition, with rich texture, dark fruit, and savory spice
- Armé Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 – Structured and layered, showing precision and depth
- Game Trail Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 – A more rugged, mountain-influenced expression with bold character
- Angeli Zinfandel 2022 – Vibrant, old-vine intensity with classic briary notes and energy
And from their beloved OVR (Old Vine Red) lineup:
- OVR Cabernet Sauvignon 2023 – Fresh, approachable, and incredibly versatile
- OVR Red Blend Lot #75 – The evolution of a cult classic—balanced, juicy, and crowd-pleasing
- OVR Rosé 2025 – Bright, crisp, and perfect for warm-weather sipping
Why Marietta Continues to Stand Out
Marietta has long been a sommelier favorite for one simple reason: it delivers. These wines consistently offer complexity, balance, and authenticity at a price point that feels almost out of step with today’s market—in the best way possible.
Critics and industry insiders alike have praised the winery for decades, particularly for its ability to maintain quality across both its premium vineyard-designate wines and its everyday OVR bottlings..
