MARCIEN RETROSPECTIVE
Marcien, Proprietary Red, Los Carneros, Napa Valley
2012 and 2013

Time has carved away the youthful “baby fat.” What remains is clarity.

2012: Silky dark fruit — black cherry and plum — is now interwoven with graphite, cacao and a gentle herbal undertone. The once firm edges have softened into satin; tannins are subtle and resolved, leaving a long, mineral finish. Still vibrant. Still rising. A wine that now speaks more softly, but says more.

Where 2012 is all grace, 2013 shows definition.

2013: The darker profile remains — black cherry, cassis, violet — but the years have polished the tannins from architectural to refined. The energy is still there: fresh acidity, a precise line of minerality, and a finish that carries without weight. The power of youth has matured into composure.
