12 Bottle Case Cambria Tepusquet Vineyard Santa Maria Syrah 2022 Rated 92WE w/ Shipping Included

Wine Enthusiast Review
Rated 92
Damp earth, dark berry and forest wood aromas show on the nose of this bottling. The palate is very dry and mineral driven, snapping with tightly wound fruit flavors as well as turned earth, charred meat and purple flower elements, with mint popping on the finish.
