TENSLEY Syrah, Colson Canyon Vineyard 2013

This follows up the impressive 2013 release. 2014 was the second drought year in a row, which lead to lower yields, smaller berries and incredibly intense fruit. The wine begins with aromas of smoked meats, lavender, cassis and blackberry. It has flavors of blackberry, black olive, black cherry and lavender. This is dense juice that needs an hour of aeration to settle down. (Best 2015-2026) - December, 2015 (OB)
