2020 SYRAH ZB Bien Nacido Vineyard

The Bien Nacido Vineyard is located in the Santa Maria Valley on the South Central Coast of California, just east of Santa Maria.  The topography of the valley features transverse ranges with an east/west orientation, opening up to the Pacific Ocean.  The climate is strongly influenced by the ocean providing ideal temperate growing conditions for Syrah.  Early spring warming, mild summer temperatures and late arriving cold fall temperatures provide a long growing season for the development of rich color along with concentrated and complex flavors.
