Tasting notes
Named in keeping with the classical musical theme and the number of grape varieties in the blend, Marietta's 2020 Quartet is 48% Merlot, 46% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot, with some 90% of the total coming from Carneros. The nose features hints of black olives and faintly herbal nuances set against a core of black cherries. Meant to be approachable young, it's medium to full-bodied, easy to drink and silky in feel, with ample length.

The 2020 Red Wine Quartet functions as a second wine from this label and in 2020 is 49% Merlot, 46% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the balance Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Smoky red and black fruits, iron, spice, and a touch of crushed stone all give way to a medium to full-bodied, supple, mouth-filling red with some firmer tannins. It should keep for 7-8 years.
The 2020 Red Blend Quartet is plump, juicy and easy to like. Succulent black cherry, chocolate, new leather, licorice, espresso and spice are front and center. There's just enough fruit density to balance the tannins. Drink this over the next handful of years.
