【📝概述】
🇺🇸 此款酒是由 Ste Michelle 城堡在華盛頓州發起的法美合作項目，兩位法國著名釀酒師 Michel Gassier、Philippe Cambie 與美國釀酒師 Bob Bertheau 合作，分別隸屬於法國尼姆丘 Costières-de-Nîmes 和教皇新堡 Châteauneuf-du-Pape，因為他們認為美國哥倫比亞山谷 Columbia valley 的風土非常適合釀造極好的希哈。
釀造：25% 的整串葡萄被融合到發酵過程中，使此款酒呈現出除了富含黑色水果以外的芳香風味。 其中 20% 的未發酵葡萄汁經過長時間的泡皮浸漬以賦予酒體。
77% 的陳釀發生在舊法國和美國橡木桶中，23% 在500 公升的新法國橡木桶中陳釀。與維歐涅 Viognier 共同發酵（它經常可在一些北隆河的葡萄酒中找到，如 Côte-Rôtie）。
【🍇葡萄品種 & 酒精含量】
90% 希哈 Syrah, 4% 格那希 Grenache, 4% 慕維得爾 Mourvèdre, 2% 維歐涅 Viognier, 14.5% ABV.
【👀視覺印象】
帶點紫的深紅寶石色。
【👃嗅覺香氣】
明顯的黑莓、黑醋栗、藍莓、紫羅蘭、香草、煙熏、巧克力、咖啡、煙草和泥土的香氣。
【👅味覺品嘗】
散發出類似鼻子的明顯香氣，並發出香料且絲綢般的悠長尾韻。 中等單寧，中等酸度，高酒精度，酒體飽滿。 口感非常順滑圓潤，質地醇厚。 橡木香與深色和藍色水果的香氣完美融合；清新多汁，是一款結構非常好的葡萄酒。
【🍷簡單結論】
非常優雅、有魅力且令人愉開心的希哈 Syrah。 有點像法國北隆河的一些科爾納斯 Cornas，我真心推薦它，物超所值。
【📝Brief intro】
🇺🇸 Tenet is a Franco-American project launched by Château Ste Michelle in the state of Washington with the participation of two famous French oenologists, Michel Gassier and Philippe Cambie and they collaborate with American oenologist Bob Bertheau, respectively attached to Costières-de-Nîmes and Châteauneuf-du-Pape as they consider the terroir of Columbia valley perfect to make incredible Syrah.
Vinification: 25% of whole bunches are integrated into the fermentation, giving an aromatic palette enriched with flavors other than black fruits. 20% of them must undergo a prolonged maceration to give body to the cuvée. Aging takes place for 77% in barrels of several French and American wines, 23% in new French barrels and in barrels of 500 L. Co-fermentation with Viognier as it can be found in some northern Rhone wine (like Côte-Rôtie).
【🍇Grapes & ABV】
90% Syrah, 4% Grenache, 4% Mourvèdre, 2% Viognier, 14.5% ABV.
【👀To the eye】
Deep ruby with purple hints.
【👃Nose】
Pronounced aromas of blackberries, blackcurrant, blueberry, violet, vanilla, smoke, chocolate, coffee, tobacco and earth.
【👅Palate】
Pronounced aromas similar to the nose with a long silky finish on the spices. Medium tannin, Medium acidity, High alcohol, full body.
A very smooth and round mouthfeel, the texture is liquorous. The dark and blue fruits aromas are fresh and juicy and the oak elements are present but perfectly integrated, a very well-structured wine.
【🍷 Conclusion】
Very classy, seductive and pleasant Syrah. Feels quite like some Cornas from the Northern Rhone, I really recommend it, great value for the money.
