Horsepower Vineyards Sur Echalas Vineyard Grenache 2011

$169

...a sensational blend of 100% Grenache... it’s farmed completely by horse. Showing every bit as well from bottle as from barrel, it offers up layers of pepper, smoked herbs, gunpowder and black fruits to go with a deep, structured style on the palate. Incredibly concentrated, especially in the vintage, it has a gracefully, balanced feel before firming up substantially on the finish... Unfortunately, there are only 131 cases of it to go around, so if you get the opportunity to grab some bottles, don’t miss it. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Beautiful nose of smoke, violet, black tea and bright cherry. Crisp acidity and lively red fruit flavors. Concentrated flavors of tea, black fruit and crunchy cranberry - delicious
