2023 Tensley Santa Barbara County Syrah

Wine Spectator
his rich and complex version leads with details of lilac, toasted herbs, slate and pepper that yield a deeply concentrated core of cherry, brambly raspberry and cassis. A subtle, caviarlike, salty brine–umami note on the back end drives the finish, where there’s a bit of tannins. Lingers around mineral and herb flavors. Drink now through 2038. Tasted twice, with consistent notes.

The 2023 Syrah Santa Barbara County will be gorgeous, offering bright black and blue fruits as well as some peppery, violets, and exotic floral nuances. It's beautifully balanced, medium to full-bodied, has ripe tannins, and a great finish.

This outstanding 2023 Syrah offers serious bang for your buck. Smoke and beef drippings mark the nose alongside black raspberry coils and shades of iodine on the nose. The palate is rich and layered with good texture and tension. Salty and showing plenty of finesse, enjoy now and over the next eight plus years.
