Int'l Wine Review
The always scintillating Sur Echalas Vineyard Syrah from Horsepower is a 100% Syrah masterpiece that was aged for 15 months in 100% neutral French oak barrels. A brooding deep blue-purple core with a light purple rim in the glass, this is a stunning example of Syrah with an intricate nose of black-peppered charcuteries, toasted anise, brown mushrooms, dried blue and purple flower petals, combined with a mélange of blue and black fruits. With sweet, smooth tannins and crunchy acidity it’s a wine that you will remember drinking for years after you experience it. It’s that good. 345 cases made. Highly recommended.
Take it home. Or give it a cellar.

What a wild syrah, with such intensity on the nose. Bacon fat, ashtray, black pepper, black olives, celeriac and cumin. So smoky and delicious, it packs a punch while remaining fresh and poised, with a medium to full body. Long and attention-grabbing. Almost 80% whole clusters. From biodynamically grown grapes. Fantastic to try now, but best from 2027.

Lastly, the 2021 Syrah Sur Echalas Vineyard is cut from the same cloth, offering a slightly more meaty, spicy character in its red and black fruits as well as smoked meat, savory herbs, and leather. With medium to full-bodied richness, a round, layered mouthfeel, plenty of tannins, and a great finish, it will benefit from 3-4 years of bottle age and evolve gracefully over the following 15+.

Vinous
A mentholated burst of peppery wild herbs, crushed rocks, dried citrus rinds and blackberries defines the 2021 Syrah Sur Echalas Vineyard. This is savory to the core, with silken textures and red and black fruits that swirl throughout, complicated by hints of green olive and liquid stone. It finishes long and structured, wound youthfully tight, leaving resonant hints of exotic spice and lavender pastille. This is deceptively approachable, yet just a baby with depths of complexity today. (EG)
