Tenshen Proprietary Red Santa Barbara County 2020

TENSHEN! 

We simply can’t get enough of great Cali-Rhones...the spices, the juicy, abundant fruit, the hedonistic crushability...oh BABY! 93 POINTS! Just $15!!!! How do we do it? Santa Barbara Rhone Blend uber-deliciousness...Tenshen is back!

Syrah, grenache, mourvedre (plus a dash of petite sirah and merlot) – inky, plush, meaty, and savory – with pretty floral notes and peppery, tingly, cedary spice – this is exactly what you want to drink with burgers, steaks, grilled mushrooms – basically, anything and everything off your grill!!! This bowlful of berry deliciousness is just what the doctor ordered! Blackberries, raspberries, strawberry jam… a dash of juicy black plums, just STOP IT. For the brain-melting price of ONLY FIFTEEN DOLLARS?! You can’t get this kind of deal at COSTCO!!! (Though they do have some USDA Prime ribeyes that caught my eye)! But THIS?!?! Time to throw away another six pairs of shoes, ‘cause I’m taking home another case (closet wine cellar for the WIN)!

This collaboration between winemaker Joey Tensley and Alex Guarachi - the Chilean importer turned Napa winemaker - takes bits of different tip-top estate vineyards throughout Santa Barbara and through some secret, dark-arts alchemy churns out a remarkably pleasing and completely over-the-top (in a good way) Rhone-style blend that simply CRUSHES all competitors in sheer quality for value metrics. 93 POINTS, y’all!! So good. We got more like you asked...WHILE. IT. LASTS!!
