  Medium, garnet color
  Developing, medium + aroma intensity of violets, black currant, red plum, black cherry, vanilla, toast, earth
  Dry, medium acidity, medium alcohol, medium body, medium - tannins, medium + flavor intensity.
  Very good quality.
  Can drink now and has potential for future aging.
  
  Starting to fade a bit, would not recommend holding much longer.

  I love this wine.
  Have consumed many bottles.
  Just gets better.
  And it’s better out of a magnum.

  This bottle showed some seepage alongside the cork.
  Although there was a bit of forced oxidization present, still a great bottle and personal favorite of mine!

  Bright, clear, tangy wine that is red fruit forward with strong cherry nose and flavors. Not particularly complex. We preferred the 2012 - this one is somewhat disappointing after the 2012. Nonetheless, we always like the M5 and appreciate the ongoing work done by Doug Margerum to make approachable, accessible Santa Barbara county wines.
