Wine Enthusiast, 94 Points
"This annual blend is truly a benchmark for Grenache-based Rhône blends from California. This vintage's mix of 49% Grenache, 31% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre, 5% Counoise and 5% Cinsault offers aromas of dark raspberry, rose petal, cinnamon, sumac and dried meat on the nose. The acid-washed, delicately tannic palate is fresh, with currant and raspberry, yet loaded with oregano, dried flower and more game flavors."
Wine Spectator, 91 Points
"A zesty blend with genuine personality, this red offers an array of cherry, cranberry, licorice and lavender accents that finish with snappy tannins."
Winemaker Notes:
"M5 is Margerum's Flagship wine. It is modeled after top wines from southern Rhone – Châteauneuf-du-Pape . The M is for Margerum & the 5 is for 5 grapes: Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre, Cinsault, and Counoise. M5 is a Grenache based blend & has elegance and layers making it a versatile table and food wine. The overlying presence of Grenache flavors initially impacts the palate, followed by a finish complete with hints of jam, cocoa and dark berry contributions of Syrah and earthy Mourvèdre.
It's a "go to" wine since it drinks well with every occasion and almost every type of cuisine."
