Tenet wines, from a winemaker dream team: Chateauneuf du Pape maestro Philippe Cambie, consulting winemaker for illustrious estates such as Giraud, Chateau de Vaudieu, Saint Damien, Aphillanthes, Clos St Jean, and Les Caillou to name just a few. Bob Bertheau, head winemaker at Chateau Ste. Michelle. Oh, and how about acclaimed winemaker Michel Gassier to fill out the team?
No wonder the slew of outstanding reviews! And at this deal price? Incredible!
The Tenet Syrah is a blend of 89% Syrah, 8% Mourvedre, 2% Grenache, and 1% Viognier (co-fermented with the Syrah). Wow! What a powerhouse, offering an intense nose of dark cherry, cocoa, vanilla and hints of black truffles. An unctuous mouthfeel follows, rich and flavourful with candied plum, cherry pie and vanilla. Great with air now, and well-built with great tannin structure and the ability to age for another 5 years or more (that's if you can keep your hands off it that long). A seamless example of a fine Washington state Syrah that is not to be missed. Great with ribs, steaks, or a rich brothy stew.
“The Pundit Columbia Valley sports a vivid purple hue to go with gorgeous blackberry and black raspberry fruit as well as notes of flowers, peppery herbs, and assorted spices. Medium to full-bodied, it has terrific overall balance and no hard edges, with a kiss of chalky minerality on the finish.” Jeb Dunnuck on the 92 pt 2018
