In 1998, Joey Tensley launched Tensley Wines, a winery in Santa Barbara County, where the mountain range runs from east to west. Eager to let the vineyard speak for itself, Joey produces vineyard designated Syrah wines that from day one, have been well received on the market. For his first vintage, Joey produced 100 cases, while serving as the assistant winemaker at Beckmen Vineyards, where he was given space to launch his own label. Twenty years later, Tensley currently produces 3,300 cases a year. Taking advantage of the many micro-climates that the Santa Barbara mountain range provides.
"The 2021 Red Wine is the sort of wine Joey Tensley excels with. Super ripe dark cherry, plum, licorice, cloves and mocha are all dialed up in this exuberant, fleshy Syrah/Grenache-based red." Vinous Media, 90 Points
