2006 Marriage

91 Points, Wine Advocate, December 2009

"Pure elegance and a savory style characterize the 2006 Marriage, a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc.  This wine was aged longer (30 months in barrel), and the result is a savory, more complex, and polished wine.  Dense ruby purple-colored, with a big sweet kiss of Allspice, black cherry  and black currant intermixed with tobacco leaf, white chocolate, and espresso, it is deep, rich, full-bodied, and backward, but at the same time extraordinarily pure and elegant.  This is a beauty that could actually get better over the next 3-4 years and drink well for two decades.  These are the most impressive wines I have tasted to date from Terra Valentine."
