A solid core of dark red fruit and spicy fruit surrounded by youthful tannins. The overlying presence of Grenache flavors initially impact the palate, followed by a finish complete with hints of jam, cocoa and dark berry contributions of Syrah and earthy Mourvèdre.
Color: Opaque with dense crimson and ruby red hues
Aroma: Red fruits, dried cranberries and jammy youthful fruits come immediately to the fore, with perfumed Grenache and rose petal floral aromas
Refined and elegant. Rich and concentrated with ample girth and lots of enjoyable complex fruits. Integrated tannins complete the framework. The density, texture and depth of this wine is a testament to the quality of the vineyards.
Color: Dark ruby red and black hued.
Aroma: Dark rich aromas that are intriguing. Spice, red fruits, plum with hints of oak.
Aroma: Extremely exotic and full of dark wildness and briar patch. Very meaty, herbal, spicy and loaded with various Mediterranean nuances. Very old world.
Palate: Big, intense and effusively rich. Loaded with dark nuances of bramble berry, cocoa, dried herbs and black spices. Very concentrated, expansive and mouth-coasting. The wine takes all this complexity and integrates these textures into a testament to the quality of the vineyard. Not for the faint of heart. Wine of the vintage.
The Margerum Tasting Room is located on Mason Street across from the Hotel Californian and we thought this would be a fitting name for a Wine Club exclusive wine. This is only our 3rd release and this year it is 100% Syrah made from top cool-climate vineyards in Santa Barbara County. Selected barrels from our cold cellar were chosen for their bold yet approachable character. The wine is aged in French oak to produce a rich, complex wine. This wine pairs well with big full-flavored foods like grilled meats, hearty stews, BBQ and richer fattier fish like tuna and salmon.
Rich and powerful balanced with black boysenberry fruits, leather and tobacco leaf. Tight, focused, and with rich, young tannins that will bode well for aging.
Color: Voluptuous rich black hues opaque with crimson red highlights
Aroma: Meaty,“old world”spices, root beer and a whole cadre of black fruit aromas with a touch of toast and earthy notes
