The 2016 Syrah Tensley Vineyard, from vines planted behind Tensley's house, reveals complex aromas of dried lavender, herbs, charcoal and cassis, making it one of the least fruit-driven wines in the portfolio. On the palate, it's full-bodied, fine-grained and richly tannic, with plenty of extract that shows on the chewy finish but is underpinned by juicy acids too. This was one of my favorites in the range.
