The 2021 Román is an absolute delight. Crushed flowers, sweet red cherry fruit, cinnamon, leather and dried herbs are nicely lifted in this translucent, weightless Zinfandel-based red. Dollops of Petite Sirah and Barbera round out the blend. This is grace personified. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, July 2024)

Sep 21st, 2022The 2019 Román is a blend of Zinfandel, with dollops of Petite Sirah and Barbera, varieties I don't think I have ever seen together before. A whole range of floral, savory and earthy notes lend complexity to this bold, flavorful red. This is another wine in the range that offers superb value. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, September 2021)

Jun 2nd, 2018Marietta’s 2016 Román is a tasty Zinfandel-based blend with dollops of Petite Sirah and Barbera. Succulent cherry, plum, spice and leather are all propped up by bright acids in a juicy, forward red that delivers superb quality for the money. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, April 2018)

Cherry leather, rooibos, peach, allspice & cinnamon. Bold enough to enjoy with taco salad. One of my absolute favorite wines.
