Beautiful bottle. This one had more typical Syrah notes and a nice balance and finish. Perfect with some beautiful short ribs.

08' Tensley "OGT" Syrah. After Paul's review of this wine I had to pull out my magnum(only bottled in magnums) and give it a swirl. Just to reiterate what Paul T said earlier today. It was sourced from three different vineyards.

A beautiful full-bodied (1st 90 min 📉) Syrah out of Santa Barbara. One hour decanting. The palate- Blackberry, cranberry, black raspberry liqueur. A healthy dash of spices. Sweet tannins & a nice finish. I'm guessing mostly neutral barrels. Drink them if you have them! ...
@Paul T Edit- It's dying after 3 hours.

En magnum. This Tensley club magnum has really held up well, dark and red fruit aromas and flavors, rich and full-bodied, but not overripe, medium-long finish, lovely CA Syrah!

En Magnum. Ripe and rich blue-fruited Syrah, solid acidity, still pretty youthful, long, lingering finish, definitely new world!

Couldn’t wait to open - drinking really nice right now with a little decant. Perfect with Xmas roast.
