Tensley All Blocks Tensley Vineyards Red Blend 2021

$39.99

94 pts                                                               A blockbuster new Red Blend from Joe Tensley, one of the Santa Barbara region's leading Rhone varietal producers. Try this gem before it's gone. 94 Points Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2021 All Blocks Red Wine is based largely on Grenache but includes 14% Syrah and 1% Mourvèdre, with the Syrah and Mourvèdre mostly from the Tensley Estate Vineyard in Los Olivos and the Grenache from Colson Canyon. Lots of red and black fruits, iron, herbes de Provence, and savory notes emerge on the nose. and it’s a more structured, full-bodied wine that brings the muscle.... ...This was another brilliant lineup of wines from Joey Tensley. The 2021s clearly come from a cooler year and show more medium-bodied, fresher styles. Nevertheless, these are still classic Tensley wines that bring plenty of texture and opulence."

The 2021 Red Wine All Blocks, Tensley's Grenache-based wine, is a knock-out. Bright red-toned fruit, blood orange, spice, menthol and cinnamon are all dialed up. This succulent, juicy 2021 delivers the goods. Dollops of Syrah from Colson Canyon and Mourvèdre from the estate vineyard round out the blend. The 2021 is supremely delicious.

Lots of olive and pepper aromas present with a core of dark berry fruit. Ton of collected tannin in the bottle which was surprising for how young of a wine it is.

2021 vintage. Heavy body. 80% Grenache, 19% Syrah, 1% Mourvèdre. Richer rather than riper with the fruit. Respectable structural outline. Great QPR. This should be showing well for the next decade and possibly more. 4.13.23.
