Country: US / Sur Echalas Vineyard
Variety: Grenache Oregon
Winery: Horsepower / Walla Walla Valley (OR)
Densely planted and labor intensive (it is actually tilled by Belgian draft horses), the vineyard’s first releases have been eagerly anticipated, and do not disappoint. Floral highlights are stacked over a swirl of umami, with subtle power and airiness. Delicate and tense, it’s packed with brambly berry flavors, minerally acids and fine-grained tannins.
