A deep ruby color, with the distinctive red mountain nose. Figs. Blackberry fruit. Black cherry. Mellow tannins. Lingering finish.

Awaiting our winter storm in mid March I have opened the 2013 Mark Ryan Winery Long Haul Red Mountain Bordeaux Blend. 51% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Franc, 8% Cabernet Sauvignon, 1% Petit Verdot.
On the nose there are notes of Black Cherry, Blackberry, Black Plum, Graphite, Charcoal, Black Currant, A nice Floral notes and Minerality.
The palate sees Black Cherry, Strawberry, Blackberry, Roasted Green Pepper, All Spice, and a Smokey Oak.
The wine has a medium to full body mouth feel with medium + acidity and medium smooth tannin with just a bit of grip.
A nice wine to start the weekend off right. It just loses that little something I always look for in my Bordeaux Blends. Have a great week and be safe. It looks like mine has a bit of snow in the forecast for Monday and Tuesday. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🖒

Mark Ryan never disappoints. This is a beautifully balanced wine-the fruit, non-fruit and structure are all in sync.

Holy smokes. Not full throttle with extraction or oak, but in it for the long haul, as the name suggests. Exceptional aromatics from Cab Franc and a graceful mid palate from Merlot with a bit of weight supplied by Cab. For me, the best of these three grapes in living harmony.
