Marietta Cellars, a family-owned winery in California, is renowned for its dedication to crafting high-quality wines with a focus on sustainable practices. The Game Trail Cabernet Sauvignon is a testament to their expertise, showcasing the bold and structured nature of the Cabernet Sauvignon varietal. Sourced from the rugged hillsides of the Yorkville Highlands in Mendocino County, this wine benefits from a unique terroir that imparts distinct characteristics. The winemaking process involves careful fermentation and aging in French oak barrels, which enhances the wine's complexity and depth. On the palate, it offers rich flavors of dark berries, cassis, and a hint of spice, supported by firm tannins and balanced acidity. This Cabernet Sauvignon pairs beautifully with hearty dishes such as grilled steaks, lamb, or aged cheeses.

The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Game Trail emerges from a site planted at 1,400 feet in elevation in the Yorkville Highlands. Readers will find a dark, savory, almost pungent Cabernet Sauvignon that is deeply expressive of place. Blackberry, olive tapenade, black pepper, sage and lavender add to a palpable impression of gravitas. I would give the 2022 a year or two in bottle to shed some of its baby fat. It's an incredibly distinctive wine, that much is plainly obvious.
