(1321 views) | | | Tasted by Scott Harbison on 8/26/2019 & rated 91 points: Great value at under $25. Full bodied and fruit forward. A little herbacious on the nose. (1479 views) | | | Tasted by Stephen.Somm on 5/28/2019 & rated 88 points: Jammy, fruit forward wine that would go well with bbq or dark chocolate. Notes of blackberry, plum, dark cherry, light spices, and vanilla. Acid is medium, tannins low, alcohol high. Juicy, decadent, unmistakably New World. Drink now. (1503 views) | | | Tasted by Z1nnfull on 12/28/2018 & rated 85 points: I don't have a lot of good to say about this, nor a lot of bad. It was a red wine, couldn't pick out the varietals, it was good, but not really impressive or with much depth or character that would make me want to re-purchase. Certainly drinkable. Would have pegged it for a $5 house red wine at Applebees. (1791 views) | | | Tasted by F_&_M on 11/10/2018 & rated 85 points: Oversweet and over alcohol-ed. Feels like the triumph of marketing and packaging over wine-making. (1415 views) | | | Tasted by MarcelaF on 10/14/2018 & rated 68 points: Smooth, soft, but coming from the wrong country
If it weren’t a gift, I would never have a us wine in the house (1193 views) | | | Tasted by spicy1 on 9/1/2018 & rated 89 points: Decent wine for the price. Dark cherry and syrupy with soft tannins. Hint of vanilla and heat on the finish. No idea if this will age but am guessing not. (1195 views) | | | Tasted by Stephen Rash on 7/9/2018 & rated 86 points: Garnet in color, clear, dull; nose of cherry, herbs, and hints of vanilla; cherry syrup and pepper on the palate; medium(-) body, medium acidity, medium(-) tannins; long finish. I did not enjoy this wine as much as the bottle I tasted in February. This bottle was very fruit forward and syrupy. It had no balance because everything was up front. (1412 views) | | | Tasted by JBoruvka on 4/16/2018 & rated 88 points: Smooth wine with hints of berry. Good wine, will drink and buy again (1592 views) | | | Tasted by ppandian on 2/22/2018 & rated 79 points: Too fruity, without structure and not integrated. (1673 views) | | | Tasted by Stephen Rash on 2/9/2018 & rated 92 points: Dark garnet to purple in color, clear, dull; nose of black cherry, vanilla, eucalyptus, and herbs; black cherry, anise, vanilla, and oak on the palate; long, peppery finish with grippy tannins; big nose, medium body, and balanced. Will definitely improve with age in the bottle! (1638 views) | | | Tasted by Gjpass on 2/7/2018 & rated 90 points: - Brick color. (1649 views) | | | Tasted by corkscrews on 2/4/2018 & rated 97 points: A nose of muted dark fruit and some spice, dark purple in color. A medium to full bodied kitchen sink blend, with black cherry, blueberry, herbs and spice on finish, needs a good decant. www.winelx.com (1335 views) | | | Tasted by WineRay05 on 12/9/2017 & rated 90 points: Lots of fruits. Good qpr wine. Will buy again (1617 views) | | | Tasted by vinomex on 10/19/2017 & rated 88 points: Solid quaffer. At $20 this wine represents solid value, agree with others, this is a good pizza wine. The wine is rich and flavorful, but lacks elegance and sophistication, it is a simple and an easy drink. Do give it time to open up, the wine improved as the night went on. Surprisingly this wine held up in day 2, it speaks to its ability to improve with some maturity and perhaps to the quality of the juice. Enjoy now or the near term. (1824 views) | | | Tasted by brujazz on 10/18/2017 & rated 83 points: Very typical of mid level Californian red blends. Loads of chewy fruit, little complexity, varietal character and pretty disjointed. Not bad especially at BOGO. But.... (1594 views) | | | Tasted by Central Coast Wino on 10/13/2017 & rated 86 points: Just didn't do it for me. A bit tart, very tight, and not what I was expecting from a Tensley wine. Didn't take detailed notes. (1632 views) | | | Tasted by Vino_Rosso on 10/9/2017 & rated 89 points: Solid. Yummy. (1742 views) | | | Tasted by Wineaux46 on 8/6/2017 flawed bottle: TCA (1901 views) | | | Tasted by RobbieC on 8/5/2017: Part of a wine tasting event so notes are minimal and going from memory. Simple and slightly sweet. Favorite of 6 wines for wife. Struck me as a decent Wednesday night pizza wine. Easy drinker. Slightly simple. reasonable balance. 88-89 range. Pretty good QPR. (1118 views) | | | Tasted by davewr on 8/3/2017 & rated 89 points: Rhone style red. Good red fruits, touch of acidity, good body that lingers on the finish. Good food wine. (1055 views) | | | Tasted by Steamer on 6/6/2017 & rated 86 points: Really good. Tasty and plumy. (1276 views) | | | Tasted by TK Mastres on 6/4/2017 & rated 89 points: Rich nose of dark red fruit and roasted meat. A bit heavy on the palate with ripe red and purple fruit taking center stage. A solid acid backbone keeps this from being sickly and cloying but it is definitely a bold new world style wine. Not particularly subtle or smooth but strong flavors make it worthwhile for the price.

| tenshen Producer websiteRed Blend.USAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Central Coasthttp://www.ccwinegrowers.org/links.html
