A 100% Grenache from Horsepower, this one coming from the young Fiddleneck Vineyard. Aged in all neutral oak for about 16 months, it’s a meaty and spicy effort that absolutely stuns with its complex aromas and flavors of black plum, roasted game, crushed olives, dried mountain sagebrush, crushed stones, and just a smooch of freshly struck flint. Acidity is spot on and elevated while the lean tannins provide a lovely backbone. It finishes with a black cherry and sea breeze component on the mid-palate. About 266 cases were made. Highly recommended.
