Lot #764. Margerum Proprietary Red M5 2006

Description: Consists of 1 Magnum, 1.5L
Score: 90 VM.
"(More syrah this year.) Medium, bright-rimmed red. Sexy raspberry and white pepper on the nose, with a subtle anise quality adding complexity. Bright raspberry and cherry flavors offer impressive depth and urgency, fleshing out with air but maintaining verve. There's an impressive delicacy and understatement here that reminded me of pinot noir. It should be noted that Margerum's winery boasts an impressive set of racks filled with some of the greatest Burgundies and Rhones-and even some Bordeaux too. As the long-time owner of The Wine Cask in Santa Barbara, which for years was one of the country's top retailers of the best European wines, Margerum brings a particularly broad perspective to making wines in California." Vinous, Nov 2007
Provenance: The Camée Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $80
