Marietta Wine Cellars

Ohio winery balancing native Concord and classic Cabernet Sauvignon.

Marietta Wine Cellars produces wines in Ohio, a region where cool-climate viticulture shapes distinctive expressions of both native and vinifera varieties. The winery's River Red, made from Concord grapes, demonstrates the character of this historic American varietal—structured and full-bodied with the dark fruit character native grapes are known for. Their Cabernet Sauvignon, crafted from the classic Bordeaux variety, reflects Ohio's capacity to ripen traditional wine grapes. Wine Enthusiast has rated both wines, with River Red earning particular recognition. The winery's focus on these two distinct expressions—one rooted in American viticulture, the other in international tradition—positions it within Ohio's evolving wine landscape.
