Pale ruby colored with a tinge of purple, the 2009 Marion’s Vineyard gives a slightly closed nose of black cherries and black raspberries with nuances of tree moss, beet root and forest floor plus a hint of smoked game. Medium-full bodied, the earthy / savory flavors are taut with refreshing acidity giving lift and a medium level of grainy tannins, finishing long. Drink this one now to 2016+.
