Marciano Estate represents, quite simply, the best wine that we produce each vintage. Letting the vineyard mature and allowing the site to express itself through the land, geology, and the soils creating a perfect balance. Produced in quantities dictated solely by quality, Marciano Estate showcases years of striving for what can only be called a beautiful expression of a singular vineyard.
Cabernet Sauvignon
2021
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 the fruit chilled, then gently hand-sorted, fermented, barrel-aged in French oak, and bottled unfined-unfiltered.
This 2021 vintage is remarkable in every way, boasting profound aromas and superb textures, forming a sumptuous, well-balanced wine. In the glass, the wine shows a beautiful, deep crimson with cardinal red on the rim.
The nose displays fresh blackberries, cedar wood, Jordan Almonds, hints of roasted peanuts, dry fern, and freshly ground white pepper. There is a fresh entrance on the palate coated by granular and soft tannins evolving into a fresh and round mouth feel. Lingering notes of vanilla extract, raspberry preserve, sandalwood, and cinnamon are revealed on the finish.
Very approachable wine upon release. Cellaring this wine for 3-5 years will be beneficial.

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 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.
