This Tensley Tierra Alta Vineyard Syrah is an incredibly complex and well-structured wine.It has an inky purple color and an incredibly aromatic bouquet of ripe black cherries, blackberry, violet, and a hint of white pepper. On the palate, it is full-bodied and intense, with a core of ripe blackberry, cassis, and dark cherry flavors, along with earthy minerality, black pepper, and a hint of smoke. The concentrated flavors are well-balanced by firm, but supple tannins, and a long, lingering finish. This is an exceptional Syrah, and one that is sure to please any wine enthusiast.
