This is the second wine from our stunning hillside estate property overlooking the Santa Ynez Valley. With steep elevations and diverse low nutrient soils this vineyard is comprised of a combination of clay loam soils and limestone outcroppings on a limestone base.The vineyard is farmed organically, ensuring an environmentally friendly approach to viticulture. Margerum Wine Company has planted a complex array of Syrah grapes with a variety of clones, some own rooted and three blocks co-planted with Viognier. We have five clones: clone 7, Estrella clone, clone 470, Alban clone and clone 877.

• The quality of the grapes allowed for quite a bit of wholes cluster fermentation
• The final blend being half 100% whole cluster and half being a combination of 25% to 50%.
• Matured for 10 months in 55% new Ermitage and François Frères French oak barriques. 
• Never racked until bottled.
