Cabernet Sauvignon

2019

This wine embodies the power and purity of the Cabernet Sauvignon grape combined with the exceptionally maturing vineyards of Marciano Estate. Hand-picked at night to keep fruit chilled, gently hand-sorted, fermented, barrel-aged in French oak, and bottled unfined-unfiltered.

This 2019 vintage is remarkable in every way, boasting profound aromas and superb textures, forming a sumptuous, well-balanced wine that will undoubtedly please for decades to come. 

The wine flaunts intense notes of herbal tea, dried black currants, blackberries, cigar box, and vanilla in the glass. A juicy, silky attack that builds to a rich full-bodied midpalate with a generous long finish rife with flavors of blackberry conserve, ripe summer raspberry, espresso, chocolate, and gentle minerality.

Very approachable wine upon release with 2-3 hours of decanting. Cellaring this wine for 3-5 years will be beneficial and can effortlessly age 20+ years.

Sauvignon Blanc

ELEGANTLY BALANCED

From a single acre of estate-grown Sauvignon Blanc and Sauvignon Musqué, our fruit is harvested in successive small picks to accentuate the nuances of the vineyard and add dimension to the resulting wine. The Marciano Estate Blanc is aged in a combination of small concrete and French oak barrels to yield a layered, elegantly balanced wine.

Sauvignon Blanc

2022

Marciano Estate Blanc comes from a oneacre parcel on the estate where the soils are quintessential for Sauvignon Blanc and Sauvignon Musqué. Handharvested, whole cluster pressed, fermented in different fermentation lots, then aged nine months sur lees, resulting in an extraordinarily complex wine that gratifies all the senses and competes with the great Bordeaux Blancs.

The color is layered with a shiny gold, saffron with a touch of silver on the rim. The nose begins with an explosion of fresh lychee and guava paste evolving to a hint of lemon peel and melon flavor hard candy.

On the palate, there is a soft and coating finish balanced by fresh acidity. As the finish continues, you find lingering bright notes of grapefruit juice, baked pear, clementine zest, and a hint of acacia.

Serve slightly chilled, allowing all the aromas to flourish. Exceptionally approachable upon release, but if you appreciate aged white wines, it can be cellared for 3 – 5 years to allow bottle bouquets to develop.

Marciano Estate Blanc comes from a one-acre parcel where the soils are quintessential for Sauvignon Blanc. Harvest in two stages to capture a variety of aromatics and flavor profiles. The fruit is hand-harvested, whole cluster pressed, and fermented in different fermentation lots, then aged nine months sur lees. The final blend is 64% new French oak, 36% neutral French oak, and 26% stainless steel, resulting in an extraordinarily complex wine that pleases all the senses and competes with the best white wines in the world.

The wine has a beautiful, shiny straw color with metallic silver on the rim.  The aromas are balanced with notes of boxwood, white peach, blood orange, and a hint of bergamot.

The initial palate begins with a fresh entrance with bright acidity that evolves into a bright finish, showing notes of grapefruit pith, lime zest, lemon pie, and vanilla bean.

Enjoy slightly chilled, allowing aromas to flourish. This wine is exceptionally approachable upon release. A few years in the cellar will develop bottle bouquet for those who enjoy a little age on their white wines.
