| Description: | Winemaker Notes\r\n\r\nDark cherry, white pepper and spring floral aromas blend with dense blackberry flavors, sweet tannins and a juicy finish.\r\nAbout Tenshen Wines\r\n\u201ctensh\u0259n\u201d is a play on words that nods to the winemaking acumen and the tension that occurs when harvesting \u2013 an abstract energy that a wine possesses, inspired by picking at a just-ripe-enough precipice and then getting out of the way.\r\nAs a boy growing up in Santiago, Chile, Alex Guarachi always saw himself coming to America to play professional soccer. After accepting a scholarship to San Jose State, he almost made his dream a reality, but just as he was being scouted by the pros, a career ending injury shattered his hopes. It\u2019s in those types of difficult situations that a person\u2019s true character is revealed.\r\nFor Alex, another passion of his was the wines of his homeland. He saw Chile as a viticultural paradise, but in 1985, the idea of selling wines from South America seemed crazy, especially in the backyard of Napa & Sonoma. But succeed he did. Working from a garage and performing every task, Alex was order taker, warehouse manager and truck driver.\r\nHe built his importing company into one of the industry\u2019s leading companies and in 2010 was honored by Wine Enthusiast as Importer of the Year. |
