Marietta Gibson Block Syrah

Marietta Gibson Block Syrah is an estate-grown McDowell Valley red wine from Marietta Cellars in Mendocino County, California. The vineyard is a hillside site planted to Syrah, and the front label identifies the wine as Estate Grown McDowell Valley Syrah. This release is one 750 mL bottle at 14.9% ABV.

The producer describes Gibson Block with generous dark-fruit character and savory depth. Expect blackberry and black-licorice notes supported by an earthy, structured profile that reflects the warm days and cooler nights of the McDowell Valley site. The wine keeps its varietal identity clear while offering the concentration expected from a dedicated Syrah vineyard.

Serve slightly below room temperature in a generous red-wine glass and allow a short period of air after opening. Its combination of fruit, spice and savory character makes it a natural partner for grilled lamb, short ribs, roasted mushrooms, sausages or other richly seasoned dishes. Keep the bottle stored on its side in a cool, dark place until serving.
