This latest release of Dry Creek’s red meritage, The Mariner, is sure to be a crowd-pleaser. Immediately accessible and appealing, it delivers a delicious core of red and black fruits, with sweet, supple tannins and a long spicy finish. It dazzles with flavor and elegance rather than heft and power.
