This wines lush flavors and supple structure make it generous in its youth while allowing the wine to age gracefully for many years to come

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: With 35% Cabernet Franc planted on the 10-acre vineyard at Marciano Estate, this M label showcases the extra proportion of this grape. The 2018 M by Marciano is a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon and 50% Cabernet Franc. Displaying a deep purple-black color, it rockets out of the glass with vibrant notions of blackcurrant pastilles, re currant jelly, kirsch and pencil shavings with hints of dusty soil, bouquet garni and wet pebbles. Full-bodied, rich and seductively fruity in the mouth, it has finely pixelated tannins and a lively backbone, finishing with fantastic length and lots of mineral sparks. Give it another couple of years in bottle to really strut its stuff, and drink it over the next 25 years+.

• Jeb Dunnuck: I loved the 2018 M Proprietary Red Wine, another gorgeous wine from this tiny estate. Lots of crme de cassis, blueberries, iron, and a kiss of crushed stone-like minerality give way to a deep, full-bodied, concentrated wine with plenty of baby fat mostly concealing sound underlying structure. A blend of equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, it’s going to take 7-8 years to shed some fruit but should be long lived.
