Grit And Grace

San Antonio Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec

Marin's Vineyard Grit And Grace is a remarkable red wine hailing from the picturesque San Antonio Valley, where the microclimate nurtures the fine qualities of both Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec. This blend showcases a full-bodied character, offering a texture that envelops the palate with richness and depth. The acidity is bright and lively, contributing to a balanced mouthfeel that refreshes with each sip. With pronounced fruit intensity, it bursts with flavors of blackcurrant and ripe plum, complemented by subtle hints of spice and oak. The tannins are firm yet well-integrated, providing a structured backbone that enhances the wine's longevity and complexity. As a dry wine, it pairs beautifully with robust dishes, making it an ideal choice for gatherings and special occasions where its intricate layers can truly shine.

In recent years, Chile has increasingly produced incredible wines of exceptional value. With a setting influenced by the Andes Mountains, the Pacific Ocean, the Atacama Desert and even Antarctica, Chile is a diverse land with rocky foothills, lush valley floors and cool coastal zones. Chile gained international renown for its New World take on classic Bordeaux varieties. Interestingly, it's an obscure red Bordeaux variety—Carménère—that has become Chile's signature grape. But other Old World varieties do equally well in Chile; Pinot Noir, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay have all become mainstays of Chilean wine, exhibiting impressive levels of quality and balance in the country's distinct terroirs.
