Wine Review: Tenuta Vineyards Syrah

February 21, 2008

After completing a real estate transaction in Dublin, I was fortunate enough to receive a bottle of Tenuta Vineyards Syrah 2004 by the Buyer I represented. I was able to enjoy that bottle later in the week and was very pleased with what it had to offer. The Syrah has a distinct, bold flavor full of pepper and spices.

Tenuta Vineyards was established in 2002. The owners, Ron and Nancy Tenuta, discovered the bountiful vineyards of the Livermore Valley back in 2000. This ideal setting and their combined passion for fine wine set them out on an adventure to build a winery. Shortly after, Tenuta Vineyards was opened. They welcome group tastings, weddings, and private events.

2004 Tenuta Vineyards Syrah gets 3 out of 5 corks.
