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
2022
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, optically sorted, fermented and barrel-aged in French oak.
This 2022 vintage presents itself in the glass with a deep shiny claret center progressing to a cardinal red rim suggesting both depth and vibrancy.
On the nose, the wine displays the aroma of baked apple pie, clove, cedar, dried flower petals, cocoa powder and honey. The palate opens with a velvety soft and silky mouth feel, supported by soft and fine tannins evolving into lingering notes of violet candy, medjool date and a hint of lime zest.
Very approachable wine upon release. Cellaring this wine 20+ years will be beneficial.

M Proprietary Red Wine
LAYERED AND REFINED
M Red Wine is a rich and layered Bordeaux blend that balances the density and power of our vineyard’s Cabernet Sauvignon with the silky texture and perfumed aromatics of our best blocks of Cabernet Franc. This wine’s lush flavors and supple structure make it generous in its youth while allowing the wine to age gracefully for many years to come.
Proprietary Red Wine
2022
Named after founder Maurice Marciano. “M” is a terroir-driven, richly layered French Bordeaux-style blend that balances the density and finesse of our Estate Cabernet Sauvignon with the silky texture and perfumed aromatics of our best blocks of Cabernet Franc. Harvested between September 16th to October 18th, all our grapes are hand-picked at night to keep the fruit chilled. Stainless steel fermented and barrel-aged 22 months in French oak barrels.
A beautiful rich deep red color in the glass that evolves into a magenta red rim, indicating both youth and depth in the wine. The nose is inviting and complex, with a delightful interplay of ripe black cherry and the warm, grounding scent of sandalwood. A touch of anise adds a savory edge, while the brightness of Meyer lemon curd brings a refreshing citrus note that balances the deeper aromas.
The wine enters the palate with elegance, showcasing a silky texture and untiring profile of tannins that lend structure without overpowering. Flavors of wild strawberry and unsweetened cocoa emerge first, followed by the intensity of black currant and a hint of baking spices. The finish is smooth and soft, revealing layers of vanilla, cedar and raspberry which continue to evolve as the wine lingers. A subtle touch of white pepper adds a final flourish of spice and complexity.
This wine is very well received upon release but will also evolve over time with a bit of cellaring. This wine will easily continue to age for 15+ years.

The color of the wine is radiantly luminous, with a light straw hue adorned with delicate silver along the rim. The nose begins with an explosive bouquet of boxwood accompanied by the luscious essence of white peach, succulent pear, and the exotic allure of passion fruit. Subtle whispers of cotton flower mingle with the zesty tang of pomelo pith, culminating with a tantalizing hint of graphite.
This wine is meant to be served at cellar temperature allowing all the aromas to flourish.
