September Club Release
This expressive blend of Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, and Carignane opens with enticing aromas of plump black plum, ripe fig, and blackberry lifted by delicate floral notes. The palate is round and enveloping, with layers of dark fruit unfolding toward mocha and dark chocolate accents on the finish. Well-resolved tannins provide structure, depth, balance, and a lingering impression of richness. A true reflection of heritage vineyards and skilled craftsmanship, this wine offers both immediate appeal and enduring sophistication.
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.
