"A blend of 100% Syrah, the 2011 OGT, also released only in magnum, offers off-the-hook aromas and flavors of spice box, toast, bramble and meaty notions that are grounded by a ripe core of plum and berry fruit. Full-bodied, voluptuously textured (which is remarkable given the vintage) and with sweet tannin, it is an awesome Syrah that will drink beautifully . . . . One of the rising superstars in California, Joey Tensley continues to focus on single vineyard Syrahs and Rhone blends from Santa Barbara County. All of the wines are treated identically in the cellar and see just under a year in neutral oak (the Colson Canyon sees a small amount of new oak). They show their origin beautifully and have distinctive, unique personalities. In addition, they age beautifully and continue to be offered at fantastic prices. In short, don’t miss these wines."

The fourth-largest wine producer in the world, led by California. American fine wine is defined by ripe, expressive fruit and a spirit of innovation, with Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon among the most sought-after wines globally.
Syrah (Shiraz) produces dark, powerful reds with black fruit, pepper and smoked-meat notes. It yields elegant, perfumed wines in the northern Rhone and bold, rich styles in Australia.
