Reviewed October 2021The intense, heady 2019 Syrah Sur Echalas Vineyard is a masterpiece in the making. On the nose, it takes on white pepper and black olive tapenade alongside hoisin sauce, dark truffle, boysenberry, creosote and seaweed tones that all meld in the glass. The palate is plush, soft and incredibly complex. Fresh and vibrant with silky tannins and wonderful length. This is a beautiful wine that flirts with perfection. It will enjoy another 10-15 years in the cellar. (OB)

Jeb Dunnuck
Leading off the three Syrahs, the 2019 Syrah Sur Echalas Vineyard reveals a ruby/plum hue to go with a beautiful perfume of darker cherry and black raspberry-like fruits as well as smoked earth, shitake mushroom, iron, and exotic, floral and bloody nuances. This is one feral, exotic, incredibly complex Syrah that stills bring beautiful fruit, medium to full-bodied richness, ultra-fine tannins, and a great finish. It needs a solid hour in a decanter if drinking any time soon and will have two decades of longevity, if not more. This is the most perfumed and delicate of the three Syrahs.

Wine Advocate
The 2019 Syrah Sur Echalas Vineyard is fantastic with aromas of salami, cured meat and dusty leather before showcasing a sanguine and dark red berry essence. Medium to full-bodied, notions of smoked peat moss sway with a fleshy but firm mouthfeel before displaying a delicate mineral tension across the mid-palate with a tannic edge. The wine glides to a persistent finish that will remain food-friendly for years to come. (AM)

Give this a second to breath. A meaty nose of coppa, paprika, fennel and black cherry. Full-bodied with silky tannins. Bright flavors of dried berries and roses on the palate with plenty of spice. Great balance and intensity that leaves a lingering hum on the palate. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
Notes
Jeb Dunnuck's notes on the producer: "The Horsepower wines are made at Cayuse yet from their own set of vineyards which are farmed exclusively by horses. The wines share plenty of similarities with the Cayuse releases, yet have slightly more backward profiles that demand bottle age to show at their best." (4/2018) *Biodynamic*
