Mariner Mini Vertical. The Mariner is our premier expression of a Meritage blend from the Dry Creek Valley. Each vintage, we take the best of our Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Petit Verdot lots to craft our finest Bordeaux-style blend. This three-year mini vertical provides an excellent preview of how this wine will age and makes the perfect gift for the wine collector or connoisseur in your life.
