Dressed in a deep garnet robe, the Marciano Estate M Red exudes opulence with a nose rich in blackcurrant, ripe plums, and an undercurrent of mocha and sweet spices.On the palate, it unfolds with layers of dark berries, cassis, and hints of graphite, reflecting the stony minerality of its Napa roots. The wine's luxurious texture is supported by a sturdy backbone of refined tannins, making it muscular yet graceful. A subtle interplay of vanilla and tobacco weaves through the long finish, revealing the careful integration of French oak. This is a wine that, while impressive in its youth, promises a grand evolution over the years.
