Horsepower Sur Echalas Vineyard Grenache 2022 750 ML
100 Points, Editor’s Choice
Pale yet vibrant in the glass, it exudes a mesmerizing aromatic complexity, unfurling layers of boysenberries, crushed rose petals, smoked spices, bacon fat, and salty sea breeze. Beneath that, hints of charred earth, black truffle, and roasted game add an irresistible umami depth. The palate is equally compelling—silky yet structured, with a core of red raspberry, blood orange, and white pepper seamlessly woven together. There’s an electric energy here, a thrilling interplay of minerality and acidity that keeps each sip endlessly engaging. As it glides toward its expansive finish, lingering notes of smoked herbs, saline-infused rock, and delicate florals emerge, leaving an unforgettable impression. Utterly captivating in its purity and precision, this is a wine of extraordinary character and age-worthy potential. Bravo … Highly recommended. —Jeremy Young, International Wine Report

Translucent in the glass ... Aromatically enchanting, this yields beautiful red rose petals with Asian spices, prosciutto ham, Nori and shades of smoldering stones with bacon grease accents. The palate is impeccably balanced, round and generous, with serious underlying tension that will make your mouth water. Showing great depth and a delightfully long finish, enjoy this novel, one-of-a-kind wine now and over the next eight years. —Owen Bargreen, owenbargreen.com
