Aromas of bluefruits and earthy, mineral notes, similar flavors, like the 2009, this also shows lower ABV (13.4%), faint green bean/green olive note as well, both of these are close to showing as from the northern Rhône, really excellent Santa Rita Hills Syrah!! — 5 months ago

Rich, deep pinot from Willamette. Nice tension. Reminds me of Tensley, for some reason. Probably because of its luscious fruit. Gift wine. — 3 years ago

Punctuating a row of B Day wines, up in Columbia county. No notes but juicy-black fruits, juicy mid palate. 80% Syrah, 20% petit Verdot. Balanced- not open knit like my only Cali Syrah reference point, Tensley. — 4 years ago

I'm still surprised that Joey Tensley hasn't received more criticism, mostly avoiding the label of "controversial winemaker," while Dave Phinney seems to take more than his fair share. Tensley's wines stress the boundaries for normally accepted levels of extraction, alcohol, and, for that matter, flavor, and this is no exception. A blend of Viognier, Roussanne, Grenache Blanc, and Chardonnay, but it masquerades as a Gewürztraminer. Apparently overripe, fat Viognier can come off as fruit cocktail syrup. Well this is the best fruit cocktail syrup I've ever had. Peach, pear, melon, and apricot splash the palate wearing a coat of chalk that's been coated in honey. The weight of wine is like a newspaper laying atop a honey bee; eventually it will get out, but the weight is significant. Not for everyone, but those that it's for will really enjoy. — 8 years ago

These don’t count in my race to 2,000 at this point.
But for $5.90 more I take the tensley, I just prefer the viscosity over the zing — 5 years ago

What kind of glass do you use for Tannat? Trying Pinot glass today🤷🏼‍♂️
Not much of a nose yet, give it an hour to open up. So smooth, wish there was more to go around.
