6 W HY THE M ARINER ? The Mariner is the culmination of decades of cellar planning and vineyard development. The Mariner reflects our vision to produce a world class red wine. The Mariner focuses on Dry Creek Valley terroir expressing hillside vineyards at more than 1,000 feet in elevation. The Mariner is a distinctive Dry Creek Valley red wine crafted in the tradition of some of the finest Meritage blends in California.

7 K EY F ACTS All five “noble” Bordeaux varieties are incorporated. Classic blending techniques were used in the early 1970’s with our first official Meritage red wine released in 1985. Barrel regime is crafted to give additional blending possibilities, matching the barrel to the varietal, and bringing all the layers of aromatics and flavors together. Focusing on the Dry Creek Valley with its warm days and cool nights allows for complexity in the wine with balanced acid, pH, and tannins.

8 W INEMAKER N OTES A masculine, Left Bank expression of a Bordeaux- style red wine, emphasizing robust Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot in the blend. We select French coopers who handcraft special barrels especially for this blend. Our finest Bordeaux blend of each vintage, this wine is characterized by deep color and a velvety texture. Low-yielding rocky hillside vineyards create an intense wine with black cherry and black raspberry fruit complemented by hints of dark chocolate and sage.
