2023 Tensley Colson Canyon Vineyard Syrah Santa Barbara County

(96 Points) All Syrah from Colson Canyon Vineyard, fermented with 30% whole clusters and aged 10 months in 25% new French oak, the 2023 Syrah Colson Canyon Vineyard is deep purple-hued, medium to full-bodied, concentrated, and pure, with fabulous aromatics of blueberries, wild strawberries, violets, pepper, and flowery incense. It has terrific purity, a pure, layered mouthfeel, and a great finish. -Jeb Dunnuck
