The 2021 Red Wine All Blocks, Tensley's Grenache-based wine, is a knock-out. Bright red-toned fruit, blood orange, spice, menthol and cinnamon are all dialed up. This succulent, juicy 2021 delivers the goods. Dollops of Syrah from Colson Canyon and Mourvèdre from the estate vineyard round out the blend. The 2021 is supremely delicious. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, September 2023)

Lots of olive and pepper aromas present with a core of dark berry fruit. Ton of collected tannin in the bottle which was surprising for how young of a wine it is.

2021 vintage. Heavy body. 80% Grenache, 19% Syrah, 1% Mourvèdre. Richer rather than riper with the fruit. Respectable structural outline. Great QPR. This should be showing well for the next decade and possibly more. 4.13.23.
