Different in profile from Tensley’s other two bottlings. From northern Santa Barbara County, it opens with aromas of jammy currants, grilled meat, anise, and smoke and vanilla from oak. It is rich in juicy fruit flavors, notably blackberries and cherries, and the tannins are not as tough as those in the other offerings.

Vibrant and fruity, with blackberry, cherry, black raspberry, leather, smoke and herb flavors that erupt from the glass. The flavors are deliciously rich and ripe, in a smoothly textured body, but the tannins are tough and astringent, as they are in the Purisima Mountain bottling.

This wine, from the central Santa Ynez Valley, smells fantastic. It is jammy with blackberry, black cherry, currant, mocha, smoke, vanilla and pepper, like some kind of incredibly decadent dessert. The flavors are very rich in cherries and blackberries, but the wine is also significantly tannic, numbing the mouth.
