| Description: | "Coming from a newly planted site located around the estate, the 2015 Syrah Tensley Vineyard is reminiscent of a top flight Cornas with its meaty, savory, crushed rock and smoked dark fruit aromas and flavors. Medium to full-bodied, beautifully textured and with fine tannin, it shows the potential from this young vineyard." (wa). "a powerful, explosive wine, the 2015 Syrah Tensley Vineyard is one of the highlights in this range. Bold and dark in expression, with tons of supporting tannin, the Tensley exudes intensity in all of its dimensions. The 33% whole clusters are nearly buried by the sheer richness of the fruit. This is an impressive showing. " (vm). "The 2015 Syrah Tensley Vineyard comes from a site recently planted just outside of the town of Los Olivos. It's an inky purple colored Syrah that has tons of blackberry, smoked plum, olives and charred meat aromas and flavors. It's another full-bodied, rich and concentrated red from this estate that has good acidity, ample underlying structure and a great finish. This cuvee reminded me of a Cornas when I tasted it from barrel, and I stand by that comparison today. Give bottles a decant if drinking anytime soon, and enjoy bottles through 2027." (jd). Winery Notes:. Our son, Oliver, planted the first vine in the Tensley Estate Vineyard, and we can still pick that vine out from our kitchen window. In short, this vineyard is very special to us, so we couldn't be happier that our wine club members as well as wine critics Jeb Dunnuck and Antonio Galloni have embraced this wine wholeheartedly. As young as it is, the grapes from this vineyard show amazing sophistication and complexity. In fact, Dunnuck has called it "reminiscent of a top-flight Cornas." Look for notes of lavender, plums, black cherries and licorice. This wine is full-bodied and approachable now but is also sure to age well over the next 8 to 12 years. |
