it's a difficult challenge to blend six different grapes into a wine without sacrificing focus, but winemaker rob newsom has done a splendid job with this new vintage of marie's view. roughly a third cabernet and a third syrah, which provide a potent core of deep red and black fruits, the wine is nuanced with layers of spice, leaf, toasted grain, loam and coffee grounds. fine acids promise a long life.
