A Master’s Signature Blend

Joey Tensley, who according to Robert Parker has “flirt(ed) with perfection” earning 99 points for his Estate Syrah, keeps giving lovers of blockbuster red blends so many fresh reasons to hold him in such high regard. Here’s one more: Tensley’s recently-acquired Colson Canyon Vineyard boasts 16-acres of prime grapes in Santa Barbara’s Santa Maria Valley sub-appellation. Exactly the same site as his 99-point Syrah. “‘All Blocks’ has some of the best Grenache ever from the vineyard,” Tensley told us, and the critics agree. Jeb Dunnuck, recently departed from Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate and writing in his new online publication, salivates over the “full-bodied” spicy fruit, licorice, and herbes de Provence, calling it “elegant and seamless” and “impossible to resist,” then pinned on 93 points. Galloni raved that it’s “a beauty in every way,” coming in at 91-93. So why try to resist, especially at just $29.99/bottle?

If you’re looking for an authoritative take on California wines, you can’t do better than Jeb Dunnuck, the critic Robert Parker picked to lead The Wine Advocate’s California reviews. And when Jeb is looking for the best Rhone blends from California, he turns to Joey Tensley. Before he left Parker’s publication, Dunnuck at The Wine Advocate gave Tensley’s 2015 “All Blocks” GSM blend 91-94 points, now in his brand-new online publication, Dunnuck awarded this “full-bodied, elegant and seamless” red a solid 93 points.

Before Parker came calling and before the launch of JebDunnuck.com, the software engineer would work all day, then toil through the night on his labor of love, the Rhône Report blog. The venerable Robert Parker called Dunnuck “a younger version of myself” and we’ve watched him rise from blogger to the Advocate’s Rhône Chief to a peerless authority in his own right. Throughout all that, one thing has remained constant: like us, Dunnuck has always been blown away by Joey Tensley’s wines.

Tasting Notes

2015 Tensley "All Blocks" Estate Blend Santa Barbara County

Wine Access

Deep, dense ruby/purple. A spicy nose of jammy red fruit, garrigue, and anise jumps out of the glass. Succulent and medium-bodied on approach, with juicy fatness from the Syrah and Mourvèdre. Finishing with a sweet florality and fine tannins, a short stint in the decanter couldn’t hurt; tonight or in 10 years, this gem will be ready to go.

93 Points Jeb Dunnuck

The 2015 All Blocks is a blend of Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre from all the blocks of Joey’s two estate vineyards: Colson Canyon and Tensley Estate. The Grenache and Mourvèdre dominate this cuvee and it offers lots of spicy red and black fruits, licorice and herbes de Provence like aromatics. Full-bodied, elegant and seamless on the palate, it’s already impossible to resist, yet my money is on it cruising in the cellar for a decade.

91-94 Points Wine Advocate

Based mostly on Grenache, with 20% Syrah, the 2015 All Blocks comes from all the blocks in the estate. It has a supple, sexy personality as well as lots of black raspberry, cherry, spice and floral aromatics, medium to full-bodied richness and a great finish. It should drink nicely right on release.

91-93 Points Antonio Galloni

The 2015 Tensley Estate All Blocks is a new wine made from Tensley's estate blocks at Colson Canyon and Tensley's home ranch in Los Olivos. Dark, sumptuous and expressive, the 2015 exudes richness and class through and through. The interplay of varieties is compelling. Sweet floral notes from the Grenache are most evident on the finish, but the 2015 is a beauty in every way. Dark red cherry, plum, spice, menthol and licorice infuse the striking finish.
