Dry Creek Vineyard The Mariner 2019
Bordeaux Red Blends from Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma County, California
Winemaker Notes
The grapes for this delicious Bordeaux-inspired blend come from several of Dry Creek Vineyard’s most prized estate and hillside vineyards in the Dry Creek Valley. 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 flavors along with earthy complexity and savory tones. It finishes with notes of mocha, marzipan, fine leather, and black tea. Good acidity will help this wine age beautifully for years to come.
James Suckling – 93 Points
This is a full-bodied, dark-fruited red with hints of hazelnut, currant bush and moist earth. Tannins are fine and supple with seamless texture and a succulent finish. Attractive now, but better from 2025.
Food Pairing
Pairs well with grilled ribeye, meatloaf, or a light salad.
