Cambria Syrah Tepusquet 2000
Santa Maria Valley, Santa Barbara County, Central Coast, California, United StatesThe first bottle we tasted was suffering from cork taint the second was better but the style is definitely on the stinky/compost side. There is a big spicy, clove, vanilla, resiny, garrigue nose with meaty, blackberry jam notes. Dry, round and moderately elegant with some light, dry tannins. Quite spicy and peppery with resiny, black cherry and gamy flavours. The smoky finish is a bit too lean and tight - where's the fruit.Tasted: 17 February 2003Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $41.50 | 750ml | Speculative - Vinterra Wines |
