The late Chris Bilbro is one of California wine’s unsung heroes. He founded Marietta Cellars in 1978 and grew the winery into one of the preeminent producers of excellent value, honestly made California wine. Chris sadly passed away in 2019, and today his son, Scot Bilbro, runs the winery. The lineup is as good as it’s ever been: full of delicious, gutsy wines that over-deliver at all prices (that max out at a mere $40). If these had “Napa” on the label, you wouldn’t blink if these were double the price.
The Marietta wines have been customer favorites at the shop for some time due, from their sub-$20 Zinfandel-based old vine blend (which defined the category for California), all the way up to their sub-$40 Gibson Block Syrah, which hails from a dry-farmed parcel planted in the 1880s.
