This unique blend opens with notes of black plum, licorice, and subtle floral notes of rose petal and violet. On the palate, the wine has plenty of structure with supple tannins and vibrant notes of black cherries, savory spices and a hint of mild earthiness.
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.
