This meticulously crafted blend of Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, and Carignane delivers an exquisite wine experience. Aromas of red plum from the Carignane shine through, providing a lift that keeps the wine light on its feet. Briary black raspberry flavors from the Zinfandel are enveloped by dark fruit nuances, while the Petite Sirah contributes fine tannins and cassis. The depth and impeccable balance of this blend reflect its storied heritage and the exceptional craftsmanship that went into its creation, making it a standout choice for wine enthusiasts seeking a truly memorable and sophisticated drinking experience.
Decadent duck confit is a sublime food pairing for this red blend. The richness from the duck balances the tannins of the Petite Sirah, and the acid in the Carignane.
In 1975, Ed Seghesio co-fermented an equal blend of Zinfandel, Petite Sirah and Carignane for his own consumption. When the Seghesio family released the first wines under their name in 1983, Ed’s blend was bottled and released in honor of his beloved wife, Fay Marian. To showcase the varietal characteristics of these remarkable old vines while honoring Fay’s legacy, Seghesio began producing Marian’s Reserve again in 2004.
