Tenet Wines "The Pundit" Columbia Valley 2013 Syrah, $20.69-$22.99, 88 points, poured tongue staining inky purple/red brightening toward the clear wine ring and leggy glass wall.
Smells of sandalwood, fresh laundered linen, cedar, and a buttery plum jam were rich and pleasant.
Full-bodied, fair acidity, and fine layered tannins carried flavors of plum, licorice, and a slightly syrupy black cherry liqueur.
Finished on a noticeable 14.3% alcohol, the long trailing palate, and good spice notes.
Paired okay with my Angus spiced rubbed rib-eye.
Bought at Whole Foods of Bedford, NH.
