2023 Mariana's SunsetVibrant & Magnificent Orange Yeah!
The 2023 Mariana’s Sunset is an experience - a meditation on light and shadow from a vineyard surrounded by redwoods and steep, rugged slopes. (Note: Wonderfully Hazy!)
Its explosive orange and red-peach hues glow like a Big Sur sunset. Aromas of candied yuzu, quince paste, lychee, and orange blossom rise like whispers from the glass. High viscosity and a pillowy mouthfeel carry waves of lemon candy, sun-warmed peach, and gentle tannins, with a finish that stretches endlessly, inviting reflection.
This is a wine for stillness and wonder, meant to be savored as day turns to night. Pair with saffron-infused risotto, roasted heirloom squash, or citrus-kissed burrata.
