Guess "WHO?!" Falling Back Into The Swing of Things!
Okay, okay...we apologize: ShopUncorked.com's WOW took a Summer hiatus! The time was used wisely though, tasting MANY new products to offer up to our favorite clientele! Case in point - A new Washington State Syrah - the perfect companion to usher in cooler temperatures! AND, under $17 per bottle!Product Description
"At Tenet wines, we are convinced that Washington state is an exceptional terroir for Syrah and its Rhone Valley brethren. A project between the iconic Washington state winery Chateau Ste. Michelle and the acclaimed Rhone winemaker Michel Gassier, it establishes a parallel between Syrah's cradle and most renowned region, the Rhone Valley, and its tremendous potential on Washington's basaltic slopes.
Chateau Ste. Michelle's Head Winemaker Bob Bertheau and Michel Gassier have combined their experience with the assistance of Southern Rhone's famous enology consultant, Philippe Cambie, and crafted wines from both regions, aiming to show their respective character and their common excellence.'" - Winery Notes

Tenet Wine "The Pundit" Syrah 2014 Reviews
"The finest vintage of this cuvee to date (it’s only the second year for the cuvee though), the 2014 Syrah The Pundit has loads of ripe dark fruits, charcoal, smoked herbs and licorice in a concentrated, rich, yet always balanced and fresh style. Made from 88% Syrah, 6% Grenache and the rest Mourvedre, aged mostly in French oak (which is a positive change from the American oak used for the 2013), with a small part in concrete, drink this pleasure-bent effort over the coming 4-5 years." - 92, Wine AdvocateTenet Wine "The Pundit" Syrah 2014 Tasting Notes
The color is deep purple with ruby highlights. Ripe cherry and plum aromas are complemented by earthy undercurrents of smoky cocoa and cola, and highlighted by traces of citrus blossom and lemon. A very smooth mouth feel glides into a long silky finish with flavors of red cherry and blackberry, hints of toasted vanilla, and a tantalizing slate element.Blend: 88% Syrah, 6% Grenache, 4% Mourvedre, 2% Viognier
