Margerum Wine Company Estate Cinsault 2023

Alcohol: 13.3%

Grape(s): 100% Cinsault

Localization: Santa Barbara, California, USA

Tasting Notes: It’s a wine with flavors that take you to the south of France.  

This lovely wine is from our estate-grown Cinsault and is blended with a bit of a co-ferment of estate Syrah from Clone 7 and Clone 470.  This is our fourth vintage from the estate, and it has produced the finest Cinsault we have made in our nineteen-year history. We recommend serving this wine slightly chilled.  Perfect lunch red too.

The Domain: Margerum Wine Company is committed to working with the top vineyards in Santa Barbara County to produce small lots of premium wines. The winery is located in Los Olivos in the heart of California's beautiful Santa Ynez Valley. We are part of a growing group of vintners looking to return winemaking to its previous form of production – hand-crafted and personal. Owner Doug Margerum and winemaker Doug "Scotty" Scott, craft world-class wine in a temperature-controlled building that houses tanks, barrels, and a cold room that is perfect for our production size.

Our commitment is to create handmade wines with place and personality to them that are made to our own standards. We work within the connotations of nature, stressing individuality, and production on a human scale. We strive to make wines that we personally enjoy and our hope is others will enjoy them as well. The approach to this is the antithesis of mass production.
