2018 Horsepower, Sur Echalas Vineyard Grenache, Walla Walla Valley, Washington, USA

Description

This is 100% Grenache bottled at 13.8% alcohol.

There are two Grenache cuvées under the Horsepower label, both single vineyards. Starting with the 2018 Grenache Sur Echalas Vineyard has a deeper ruby/plum colour as well as a spectacular nose of ripe cherry and strawberry fruits intermixed with lots of white pepper, dried flowers, orange blossom, and sandalwood. With medium to full-bodied richness, firm tannins, and beautiful depth of fruit on the palate, it might be the closest thing I've tasted from anywhere to Rayas.

It remains to be seen if this can evolve into the same category at maturity, but no kidding around, this is a beautiful, elegant, seamless Grenache. It needs 3-4 years if not longer, to let some tannins melt away, and it should have a solid 20 years of longevity.

Drink 2024 - 2044
