Mark Ryan Water Witch 06
Price reduction from $46.95
The Water Witch 06 from Mark Ryan Winery is a monster -a massive yet approachable mouthful of over the top, huge flavor. The scent is lush- white violets, chocolate, cherry sundae, vanilla and black cherry. Flavors of black cherry, plum, and cassis mix with bittersweet chocolate, licorice, vanilla, leather, and toast. As the wine lingers and finishes, a hint of milk chocolate begins to emerge. The 2006 Water Witch could not be more hedonistic and appealing. Highly recommended for those who like their wines huge and crowd pleasing.
The 2006 Water Witch is a blend of 58% Cabernet Sauvignon and 42% Merlot, all from Klipsun Vineyard.

Dead Horse.

Previous Vintage Tasting Notes
The most open and plush of Mark's new releases begins with scents of bittersweet chocolate and black cherry with a subtle undercurrent of white flowers. Rich, lush black cherry candy flavors, black raspberry, ripe plums, toasted bittersweet cocoa beans. Finish is long, long, long with more sweet fruit, chocolate, and dried tobacco. Silky, well integrated tannins and a balanced acidity add a refreshing lift to a hefty, succulent, wicked red.
