2019 EX MARIETTA Angeli Syrah

For a while now, we’ve been working on a series of small-lot wines that, at their very core, are meant to share experience and forge a connection. We’re calling the series EX MARIETTA, “ex” meaning from within or by the hand of. This curated set of bottlings is rare in its production and unique in expression. They are wines that evoke Marietta’s style yet are given a smaller stage, a tighter frame, and display the more intimate and playful facets of our vineyards and winemaking. EX MARIETTA is a chance to share moments of beauty in the cellar that may otherwise pass unrecognized.

At Marietta, we often get to experience such moments; luckily, they occur in a magical place, in the act of creating, and with like-minded people determined to work with Nature to make something exceptional. So much of what we do is transitory—these daily, fleeting experiences are what ultimately comprise our being—the personal, often ineffable instants that, when stitched together, define a season, a vintage, a life. 

With this in mind, we started consciously seeking out these moments throughout Marietta, exploring how they might be distilled and articulated. In the winemaking process, we often work with unique expressions, beautiful and true—the fleeting wines that exist in time between the wines that you already know. EX MARIETTA is our chance to capture these precious snapshots in the bottle. And given the very limited production of these wines, they are being offered exclusively to members of our wine club.
