Horsepower Sur Echalas Syrah 2020

Smoky red and black fruits, iodine, peppery herbs, cold fireplace, and damp earth notes all emerge from the 2020 Syrah Sur Echalas Vineyard, a medium to full-bodied, nicely concentrated, layered, textured Syrah with tons to love. The tannins are ripe and nicely integrated, and it has a good spine of acidity as well as a great finish.

Starting with a savory and spicy nose with notes of potpourri, tar and dusty roses, the 2020 Syrah Sur Echalas Vineyard is bright, fresh and aromatically pleasing. Medium to full-bodied, the wine is dense and chewy on the palate, with umami and savory notes of iodine and leather, hints of black cherry skin and green peppercorns and a slight prickle that will benefit from decanting. The wine continues to uncoil and unfold over the long-lingering and tannic finish. It's a delightful wine that spent 15 months in neutral oak vessels. 4,248 produced. Give it a try.
