Reviews and Ratings

Carolyn Hetke rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

This has a fruity nose of strawberries and field berries that carry to the palate. Straightforward and designed to appeal to a broad spectrum. This could easily serve as a red party wine on its own or serve with burgers and light beef dishes. Tasted August 2019. www.thewineloverskitchen.com
Tensh?n red 2017 is an intense red blend of Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre, Petit Sirah & Merlot aged 10 months in oak barrel (20% new). Look for dark cherry, rich blackberry, wild herb and white pepper flavours on this well-priced, vibrant red from Santa Barbara County. Tensh?n is winemakers, Joey Tensley and Alex Guarachi’s play on words regarding winemaking and the resulting tension at harvest. - Community Wine Reviews
