Note di degustazione
The quality from this vineyard has skyrocketed since Tensley purchased the site and took over the farming, and that’s never been more apparent than with the 2017 Syrah Colson Canyon, which is another “finest to date” for the cuvée. Blackberries, toasted spice, herbes de Provence, ground pepper, bacon fat, and violet notes all emerge from the glass, and it offers that rare sense of power and texture paired with a sense of weightlessness and elegance. With a massive personality, building tannins, and a finish that won't quit, it's another sensational wine. Drink it over the coming 15 years or more.

The 2017 Syrah Colson Canyon Vineyard is dense and full-bodied, with all of the natural concentration it has always shown, but with softer contours and wonderful plushness. Succulent red cherry, plum, licorice, pomegranate and wild flowers build in a racy, flamboyant Syrah loaded with personality and character.
From vines planted in 1997 at 1,400 feet in elevation, the deep ruby-purple colored 2017 Syrah Colson Canyon Vineyard (25% new oak) gives up chocolate-covered cherries, crushed stone, pencil shavings, black cherry jam, smoked meats and pepper with red berry sparks. The medium to full-bodied palate is silky and intense with firm, pleasantly chewy tannins and great freshness, finishing long and layered. Yum!
I loved the 2017 Syrah Colson Canyon, a classic Tensley Syrah with its plum and darker fruits, peppery herbs, olive, and savory meatiness. Possessing full bodied richness, impressive purity of fruit, and a big finish, it’s another winner that will keep for 10-15 years.
