At first swirl, the wine displays aromas of black currant, black cherry, and blackberry. Several more minutes reveal hints of cardamom, white pepper, cumin, and dried herbs. The palate has dark berry flavors along with earthy complexity and savory tones. It finishes with notes of mocha, marzipan, fine leather, and black tea. Good acidity will help this wine age beautifully for years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlend: 61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot, 8% Petit Verdot, 11% Malbec, 2% Cabernet Franc\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCritical Acclaim\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWW 92\u003cbr\u003e Wilfred Wong of Wine.com\u003cbr\u003e COMMENTARY: The 2019 Dry Creek Vineyard Mariner is well-built and finely structured.
