Margerum Santa Barbara Red Blend 2023

Sourced from California’s iconic Santa Barbara region on the Central Coast, Margerum’s 2023 Red Blend is a sophisticated choice for wine enthusiasts seeking bold flavors and seamless complexity. This expertly crafted Rhône-inspired varietal combines 49% Grenache with Syrah (31%), Mourvèdre (10%), Counoise (5%), and Cinsaut (5%), delivering a rich tapestry of tastes designed to impress both novices and connoisseurs alike.

The wine’s striking deep crimson hue hints at its vibrant character before you even take a sip. On the palate, velvety layers of dark cherry and blackberry dominate upfront, complemented by Grenache’s signature spice-driven elegance. As it evolves, Syrah adds smoky jammy undertones while Mourvèdre introduces subtle earthy accents, creating a harmonious balance that lingers long after each glass. Youthful yet approachable tannins provide structure without overpowering, making this blend versatile enough for casual enjoyment or cellar aging potential.
