<h1><font size="4" color="#c06000"><b>2006 Margerum Rhone Blend M5 Santa Ynez Valley</b></font></h1>
<i>2,200 cases produced</i><br /><br />2006 was a great Grenache year and the trick to this years wine , as it is every year, is to balance the crimson, aromatic, lean, bright, tight, crangrape, (crangrape is a made up word) tobacco, smoky, leather, earthy, Grenache, Counoise, Mourvèdre, Cinsault based components with the bombastic, dark, black, licorice, plum, fruity tannic, bold, intense ripe, full-bodied Syrah I make. So, after thinking I had the perfect blend and after actually going to press on the label I added not one but two barrels of my premium Syrah to the 76 barrel lot making the final blend over 50% Syrah. M5 is a Margerum blend using five grape varieties from twelve different highest quality vineyards in Santa Barbara County vineyards to make one wine. 52% Syrah (24% Alisos Vineyard, 24% Vogelzang Vineyard, 15% Great Oak Ranch Vineyard, 20% Black Oak Vineyard, 7% Alondra de los Prados Vineyard, 7% Purisima Mountain Vineyard, and 3% Colson Canyon Vineyard), 26% Grenache (58% Zaca Mesa Vineyard, 15% Vogelzang Vineyard, 10% Purisima Mountain Vineyard, 11% Crossroads Vineyard and 5% Watch Hill Vineyard), 9% Mourvèdre (78% Zaca Mesa Vineyard and 22% Vogelzang Vineyard), 4% Counoise and 4% Cinsault (Both from the Stolpman Vineyard). Also included is 3% Genesis of M5 (a co-fermentation of everything but Syrah), 1% ÜBER Syrah (a co-fermentation of all the Syrah), and 1% K-Ray Cuveé (don't even ask). The M5 mission statement: M5 is a wine that is from a thought - a blend that is an amalgamation of memories, both distant and recent, of wines I've tasted and loved the past thirty-three years. As always, this multi-vineyard, multi-varietal cuvee illustrates the benefits inherent in a blended wine. We tasted every M5 from the 2001 M3 to the 2006 getting ready to bottle and the wines speak to each other with tastes that are easy to describe but a quality and a deliciousness that is wonderful to behold, swallow, and enjoy.<br /><br /></P>
