Cambria Tepusquet Vineyard Syrah 2016 750ml

Cambria Tepusquet Vineyard Syrah 2016 is a classic cool-climate Syrah from Cambria's estate in the Santa Maria Valley, at 13.9% ABV.

All of Cambria's estate grapes are certified under the California Sustainable Winegrowing Alliance and Sustainability in Practice.

Medium-bodied and deep purple, it shows concentrated dark berry fruit with smoked meat, spice and mocha.

Balanced tannins and acidity lead to a smooth texture and long finish.

A great match for Santa Maria-style tri-tip with chimichurri.

Good wine rewards a little care in serving. Whites and rosés show best chilled to around 45 to 50°F, while reds are at their most expressive slightly below room temperature, around 60 to 65°F. Opening the bottle and letting it breathe for a few minutes, or pouring it into a decanter, helps the aromas open up.
