Tensley Colson Canyon Vineyard Syrah 2014

2014 Colson Syrah represents one of the most extracted and structured Colsons that Tensley has produced.

2014 began with fluctuating weather during bloom which created smaller fruit sets. It was another very dry vintage that stressed the vines and resulted in small, intense berries. After 21 days of skin contact, the juice was pressed off to French oak barrels for aging. 80% of the barrels were neutral and 20% were new, following the traditional aging plan for the Colson.

The resulting wine is rich in color, deeply extracted and full of flavors. A decadent, velvety mouthfeel combines with blackberries, toasted notes, white pepper and vanilla in this elegant wine.
