The 2014 'The Pundit' Syrah by Tenet wines is a great follow up to their exceptional 2013 bottling. The final blend is 88% Syrah along with 6% Grenache, 4% Mourvèdre and 2% Viognier (co-fermented with Syrah). This dense, opaque wine opens with savory aromas of black olive, bacon fat, black cherries and suggestions of baking spices. There are rich flavors of black cherries, sagebrush, pipe tobacco, blackberry cobbler and hints of nutmeg. The texture of this wine is just gorgeous, polished, deep and layered. This is an exceptional value out of Washington and if approaching now be sure to allow this some air contact. (Best 2016-2022) - October, 2016 (OB)
