2005 Margerum "ÜBER" Syrah, Santa Barbara County
600 six packs produced

I set out to make the ultimate Syrah using the Genesis of M5 model.  I co-ferment all of the top Santa Barbara County Syrah vineyards I work with: Alondra de Los Prados, Volgelzang Vineyards, Great Oaks Ranch Vineyard, Purisima Mountain Vineyard, Alisos Vineyard, Black Oak Vineyard, and Colson Canyon Vineyard and then blend in selected barrels from the above list.  The result is a wine with tremendous structure, length, complexity.  2005 was an exceptional year as the fruit maturity and flavors were present early; this allowed for judicious selections at harvest prior to excessive sugar ripeness. ÜBER is a synonym for super; e.g. übercool, this means it is a top wine in the hip sense - a generally intensified product and the best wine that will come from the winery each year.  I began calling the wine ÜBER as the working name for the wine as it was fermenting for the concentrated multifaceted flavors it produced.  The wine is aged 20 months in mostly new barrels from a high quality producer in St. Romain, France.
