2009 Napa Valley Marianna Bordeaux Blend
The 2009 Napa Valley Marianna is our winery's nineth release of this Bordeaux style red wine. It is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Verdot, Malbec, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc.
This elegant classically blended Bordeaux blend is beautifully deep colored medium plum with brick red edges. The very ripe aromas jump out of the glass with refined ripe raspberry and cassis extract. The entry on the palate is supple with a black cherry and strawberry coulis flavor that fold into a matrix of generous French Oak, rich in vanilla and cocoa. The texture is supple with rich, ripe cherry vanilla deftly framed onto medium resolved tannins and expresses the core balance that only true claret can bring due to the use of all five Bordeaux varietals. The ripe base is all Cabernet Sauvignon, a silky mid palate from Merlot, a light handed dusting of spice from Cabernet Franc with structure and deep color from Petite Verdot with refined top note fruit flavors from Malbec.
This is a very serious wine that should be enjoyed on special occasions and will do well with rich foods such as seared Filet Mignon in a demi-glaze sauce, roasted fingerling potatoes tossed in truffles and sea salt and steamed blue lake beans. Drink it now through 2030. 1,200 cases made.
2007 Napa Valley Marianna Bordeaux Blend
The 2007 Napa Valley Marianna is our winery's eighth release of this Bordeaux style red wine. It is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot.
This wine has an amazing deep garnet color. The fruitiness of it pairs well with the oak accents. There are cassis, boysenberry and plum notes which harmonize with the chocolate and hazelnut from the oak aging. This is a full bodied wine with a velvety mouth feel. It is a well structured wine and as such, it will age well. This wine has a long, lingering, luscious finish. The complexity of this wine really develops as it opens up. This wine will pair well with a variety of dishes. Try it with roast duck. Drink it now through 2014. 1,500 cases made.
