Margerum Description

Metro

We secure Syrah from top Santa Barbara County vineyards,
including our own Estate Vineyard. We make a very
compelling cool climate Syrah blending the various vineyards
together to make a stunning and approachable wine.
Composition: Estate Vineyard 26%, Portico Hills Vineyard
24%, Nolan Vineyard 14%, Lieff Vineyard 14%, Spear Vineyard
11%, Watch Hill Vineyard 8%, Yellow Fox Trot Vineyard 4%
AVA Composition: Los Olivos District 39%, Alisos Canyon
38%, Santa Ynez Valley 12% and Sta. Rita Hills 11%
Vintage Conditions: Santa Barbara County had ideal growing
conditions for most of the year and mild summer temperatures until
an extended Labor Day heat wave hit. We were ready and harvested
most of the early ripening varietals before and right at the beginning
of the heat. Of course, that was followed by rain but after that the
weather was mild, and we had a long timeframe for the remainder
of harvest in which to carefully pick for optimal flavors. Yields were
slightly below average.
Maturation: This wine was matured for 10 months in neutral
François Frères French barriques. Wine was racked once and
bottled June 2023.
Color: Dark purple and black electric.
Aromas: Wild brambleberry and black plum mix with loads
of Provençal aromas like black olive, lavender, thyme,
rosemary and sea salt. Rich with savory notes of grilled
meats, dried herbs and black and purpley fruits.
Palate: Substantial and mouth-filling with loads of dark berry
fruits, dark plum and cherry and anise mix with Provençal
herbs and grilled meat. Round, complex, fresh and very
satiating. Delicious and very enjoyable.
