Elaboration

This great red wine from Columbia Valley is a blend of 95% Syrah, 3% Grenache, 1% Mourvèdre and 1% Viognier. Tenet Wines is a Domaine Ste-Michelle project created in collaboration with the elite of French winemakers: Michel Gassier (a star winemaker at Domaine Gassier and Château de Nages) and Philippe Cambie, voted the best winemaker in the world by R. Parker in 2010. These two great personalities of French viticulture took over what they call "an exceptional region for Syrah" in Washington State and made this great wine that aged 13 months in French and American oak barrels.

Taster´s notes

The wine has an intense ruby color, with garnet reflections. The aromas of blackberries and currants mix with earthy hues, along with notes of tobacco. At the tasting we discover aromas of cherries, blueberries and dark chocolate complemented by a long, juicy and complex finish. We recommend pairing wine with red meat, especially with game options such as lamb and duck. We suggest a serving temperature of 16ºC.

Customer Reviews

The Winery

Chateau Ste. Michelle’s Head Winemaker Bob Bertheau and his Washington team, along with Rhône valley collaborators, winemaker Michel Gassier and enology consultant Philippe Cambie, have combined their experience to produce three wines: Tenet GSM (Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre), The Pundit Syrah and The Convert Red Blend. The combination of the two winemaking approaches produces wines that are balanced and vibrant and have a true sense of place. The goal is to break the old paradigms and have people look at Syrah and other Rhône varieties in a new light, leaving old prejudices behind.
