Sipping Fine Wine

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.
