an over-full bottle of wine

by Jim Grow » Mon Mar 28, 2016 5:11 pm

I just got back from a week-end in NW Ohio where I bought some wine in Ft. Wayne. One bottle, a 750 ml., was labeled to contain 123% wine, 65% from Mendocino and 58% from Sonoma. It is a Bordeaux blend from Marietta Cellars called ARME. This is lot# 2, so maybe their second bottling of this blend. At 15.1% abv, it should be interesting. As Tom Hill would say, I have followed their Old Vine Red Lots from the very start (well almost, I started with Lot #4) and the present lot is #62. I am always amazed at typos/mistakes like this that are so widely seen, commonly also seen on Wine Spectator reviews.

I wonder if they stopped making the OV lot # series?? # 62 has been available for quite some time..I go back almost as far, having discovered the Marietta OV's with lot #8.

Well....I could say that I followed Marietta OV Red from Lot#1. However, the first one or two didn't have
a lot # on them.
But...yes...they are continuing the OV Red. And the Arme (Cab blend) and the Christo (Rhone blend) have been
added to the mix and they are very good values.
