Horsepower Sur Echalas Grenache 2020

Revealing a translucent ruby hue, the 2020 Grenache Sur Echalas Vineyard has a complex bouquet of earthy red and black fruits, cold fireplace, rose petals, and charcoal, with an incredibly meaty, gamey style that develops beautifully with air. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it has fine tannins, a lively, elegant mouthfeel, and outstanding length. I don't think it matches the 2019, but it's clearly a beautiful, elegant, classic 2020 with tons to love. It should evolve for 10-15 years.

Spirited yet brooding and tightly focused, this red offers a narrow beam of blackberry, bacon fat, black olive and stony mineral flavors that build toward firm tannins. Drink now through 2032. 300 cases made.
