MARCIANO M NAPA VALLEY RED BLEND 2019

In a valley dominated by single-varietal Cabernet Sauvignon, Marciano Estate's 'M' is a deliberate Meritage blend, pulling from their St. Helena-area estate whose vineyard history stretches back to the Bourn family's 1872 holdings. The 2019 grows on Napa's alluvial benchlands, where well-drained soils concentrate flavor and moderate vigor. Aged in French oak to build structure without overwhelming the fruit, it delivers baking spice, unsweetened cocoa, black berry coulis, and dried fig, with soft tannins and a dry, balanced finish.
