Tasting Note

At first swirl, the wine displays aromas of black currant, black cherry and blackberry. Several more minutes reveal hints of cardamom, white pepper, cumin and dried herbs. The palate has dark berry flavours along with earthy complexity and savoury tones. It finishes with notes of mocha, marzipan, fine leather and black tea. Good acidity will help this wine to age beautifully for years to come.

Product Notes

Dry Creek Vineyard's The Mariner Red Blend is a sumptuously layered wine, embodying California's viticultural prowess. This Spellbinding concoction features a profound, intense red colour, hinting at its rich palate. Notes of black cherry, currant, mint, and clove, delicately interlacing with undertones of dark chocolate and tobacco, create an inimitable sensory experience. On the palate, the wine exhibits a well-structured body, culminating in a satisfying, prolonged finish. Matured in fine oak barrels, The Mariner is a symphony of classical Bordeaux varietals, reflecting Dry Creek's dedication to quality and refinement. Truly, a lavish indulgence for the discerning oenophile.
