Margerum
M5 Santa Barbara County Red Rhone Blend
Santa Barbara County, Central Coast, California, USA
Owner Doug Margerum and winemaker Doug "Scotty" Scott, craft world-class wine working with the top vineyards in Santa Barbara County. Blend of 49% Grenache, 31% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre, 5% Counoise, 5% Cinsault. Deep Ruby with dark fruit and floral aromas with complex spice. On the palate flavors of plum, cherry and raspberry with lively acidity. The finish brings notes of cacao, licorice, espresso and earthy minerality on a long ending. Nice value.

Interesting GSM blend. Some surprising sweet tones that I don’t quite know how to interpret. Revisited 6/23/24, and kept the rating unchanged. Good wine, but something is just a bit off. Maybe it’s too early. Decanting definitely needed.

Visited this winery and found this nice value 5 grape blend. Mostly grenache, syrah, mourvedre, and tad of cinsault and counoise. The wine offers a slight acidity with ample red berry and moderate tannins. After a much needed 30 min decant the wine will open up and expose the finish. Very drinkable. Makes for a great food pairing wine.
