Dry Creek Vineyard 2011 The Mariner Meritage (Dry Creek Valley)

Country: US / The Mariner
Variety: Meritage California
Winery: Dry Creek Vineyard / Dry Creek Valley

A red Meritage blend of 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, 5% Petit Verdot and 4% Malbec, the name honors Dry Creek Vineyard’s love of seafaring. With a nod to the Old World, it’s lean and savory in black tea and exotic herb. Juicy, brambly berry come to the fore on the finish, which is still grippy on the palate.
