- Mid dark ruby red with a good clean intensity in the glass, looked very promising. The nose was big on cherries, had some good spicebox to it and some licorice in there too. The palate was a little more acidic than I wanted and not particularly tannic, a good clean aftertaste. An interesting wine but not worth the money IMO. Buy an Italian Primitivo.

- This wine is a high-elevation hybrid. Most of the fruit comes from the Mariah Vineyard, 2600 feet up in the wild-‘n’-wooly Mendocino Ridge appellation. You can see the Pacific Ocean from up there. The other significant source, Piffero Vineyard, is even higher but on the other side of the state in Amador County. The blend is mostly Zinfandel, with a big dose of Petite Sirah and dollops of Syrah and Carignane. Brown-Forman, which makes the wine, has decided to end the program, and will give the “Mariah” name back to vineyard owner Dan Dooling. Odds are that he will make his own Mariah entirely read more...
