Horsepower Vineyards Sur Echalas Vineyard Grenache 2012

$145

Sporting a transparent ruby color, the 2012 Grenache Sur Echalas Vineyard is Rayas-like in its perfume (I served this blind to a great taster and they guessed 2001 Rayas) of kirsch, blackberry, ground pepper, gunpowder and floral-laced nuances. Full-bodied, elegant and layered... a gorgeous Grenache. Drink it anytime over the coming decade or more. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Oh horsepower, I hope to be a part of your tribe for a long time. This is a bottle of excellence the reason it didn’t get a 10 because I simply must believe there is something better in the world.

Honestly I don’t know what to make of it. I’m a fan of Rhône, but this is much more primal, raw, or unrefined. Not bad, just unfamiliar.

2012 Horsepower Sur Echalas Grenache A beautiful young grenache that we drank way too early but it was still the first bottle finished at the table. great complexity and spice but thin on grenache fruit which I think is just a factor of its youth. with a few years it will add weight and I bet the jammy grenache fruit will appear it is will be absolutely killer.

2012 - Funky with subtle smoky notes. Deep fruit but pure. I'll try again in a few years
