Product Overview
Winery's Notes:
"The 2013 Marcien is a “Right Bank” of Napa wine with suppleness balanced by structure. Deep, dark-fruit, perfectly ripe tannin and mouth-watering crispness makes for a classically proportioned stunner of a wine. The moment the cork is pulled, beautiful aromatics waft from the bottle. The bouquet and flavor profile is as effusive as it is complex - fruity, floral notes of violet, black cherry, pomegranate, plum and cassis intertwine with the earthy, herbal notes of bayleaf, dark chocolate, licorice, espresso and graphite, all elevated by a frame of French oak. The impression is of a finely-woven, seamless experience. The California sunshine left its mark in the rich mouthfeel, while meticulous farming combined with disciplined winemaking preserved the freshness and supple tannin structure that will keep this wine evolving for decades."
