Tasting Notes
Ripe and polished with notes of blackberry, plums and spice. A hint of bacon fat and a gorgeous floral note weave through, giving it life and vibrancy. Swirling brings up darker yet sweeter fruits and a whiff of cocoa powder. The palate is round, with terrific texture and freshness, balanced by rich fruit and silky tannins that keep this lingering for minutes.

Awards & Accolades
"The inky colored 2014 Columbia Valley Syrah from Tenor checks in as 100% Syrah. Black olives, plums, blackberries, peppery herbs and damp earth all give way to a full-bodied, supple, impressively polished, elegant Syrah that carries fine tannin and ample length. It's an impressive, layered, pure Syrah to drink over the coming decade."
- 94 points Jeb Dunnuck, The Wine Advocate
"This wine is überaromatic, with notes of raspberry jam, stemmy herbs, blackberries, smoked meat, orange peel, iron and an earthy funk. The palate brings a lot of intensity of flavor, with smoke and orange-peel notes lingering on the warm finish."
