One of the finest values in Syrah is Tensely’s 2010 Syrah Santa Barbara (100% Syrah aged in neutral oak barrels). The 500 cases of this amazing offering should disappear quickly given what’s in the bottle. A dense purple color is accompanied by notes of roasted meats, lavender, cassis, blackberries, charcoal and ink. This ripe, full-bodied, dense wine should drink well for 7-8 years, possibly longer.
