Love the 2011 vintage of this wine. This is the third bottling from Marciano Estate. The winemaker is none other than the venerated Andy Erickson. Bought a half case a few years ago for $35 (regular price is $50) which is a massive discount relative to the other two wines from the estate (as well as the more recent vintages if this same wine, which I️ don’t think are nearly as good). Wish I️ had got more. Requires an hour long decant and then this sleeper opens up gorgeously. Nose is jam-packed full of blueberry cotton candy, berry stems, damp oak, crushed rock, steel and textbook. Palette is dark fruit forward, somewhat creamy and thoroughly enjoyable although less nuanced and complex than the nose. Full mouthfeel. Medium / long finish. Bravo! — 7 years ago

Tough to find this on Delectable. Hopefully this is the right slot. If not, I'm establishing the wine here.
First, I have a case. So, I will be commenting more later. The deep red color, viscosity apparent in the glass, and the beautiful bouquet of fresh flowers and red fruits, all conspire to create an expectation that is exceeded on the palate. Floral strawberry, hints of vanilla, and soil. Medium plus bodied, medium plus alcohol, medium acidity, soft ripe tannins. Not a single edge or corner-- a perfect sphere in the mouth. It subsides slowly, and you are left to believe you were in Bordeaux. — 2 years ago
