Country: US / California
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend
Winery: Bernardus / Marinus
Another successful Marinus from this small Monterey County appellation. Made from all five classic Bordeaux varieties, it’s dry and rich in blackberries, black currants, crème de cassis and cedar, and is more rough in tannins than your typical Napa Cabernet blend. Drink now–2013.
