WINE DESCRIPTION
Horsepower Sur Echalas Vineyard Syrah is a premium wine produced by the renowned winemaker, Christophe Baron. The wine is made from Syrah grapes grown in the Sur Echalas Vineyard, located in the Walla Walla Valley appellation of Washington State. The vineyard is known for its unique terroir, featuring steep slopes and rocky soils that impart a distinct minerality to the wine. The winemaking process involves minimal intervention, with the grapes being fermented using native yeasts and aged in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is a full-bodied and complex Syrah, with notes of dark fruit, spice, and earthy undertones. It is a perfect choice for wine enthusiasts looking for a premium wine with a unique sense of place.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Horsepower Sur Echalas Vineyard Syrah is an intense, full-bodied red with a complex nose of dark berry, tobacco, and hints of licorice.The palate is lush and velvety, with layers of ripe blackberry and black currant that are balanced by a firm tannic structure and well-integrated oak. Complex and lingering, this Syrah is a great expression of the potential of the vineyard.
