Margerum 2012 Colson Canyon Vineyard Syrah (Santa Barbara County)

Country: US / Colson Canyon Vineyard
Variety: Syrah California
Winery: Margerum / Santa Barbara County

Ripe black cherries get aromatic lift from sagebrush and thyme on this wine that Doug Margerum makes from the fruit of his friend, Reo Reiswig. There is an immediate zing of acidity, with red and purple fruit flavors that bounce between raspberry and blueberry while also picking up mocha, herbs and leather along the way. A very dynamic wine.
