Dry Creek Vineyard Red Blend The Mariner 2021 750ml

#59 in Top 100 Wines of the USA, 2025. A grand, full-bodied red with plenty of structure framing dense, dark fruit flavors and spicy oak accents. Black cherries, dried blueberries, cocoa and 90% cacao chocolate easily match up to the polished tannins for good balance. It’s a Bordeaux-style blend consisting of 66% cabernet sauvignon, 17% merlot, 6% cabernet franc, 6% petit verdot and 5% malbec. Drinkable now, but best from 2030.
