Joey Tensley's Santa Barbara County Syrah, blended from several vineyard sites across the county's cool, wind-swept valleys. Deep purple, with ripe black and red fruit, a lifted violet top note, black pepper and sweet spice. A citrus-zest freshness keeps the richness in check. Full and smooth-fruited at around 14.5%, with fine, grainy tannins: a generous California Syrah that is already enjoyable and holds well for a decade.
