Tasting notes
The 2022 Syrah Sur Echalas Vineyard is intense, mixing black tea and cardamom with olives, roasted peppers, stone dust and dried citrus peels. It is soothingly round and beautifully balanced with silken textures and ripe wild berry fruits complicated by saline mineral tones. Juicy and fresh, the 2022 resonates with minty herbs and a stony resonance as sweet tannins frame a lingering note of licorice. The Sur Echalas Vineyard turns the pleasure dial to the max.

The 2022 Syrah Sur Echalas Vineyard is particularly exotic in peppercorn and garrigue, dipping into a wild array of green olive tapenade, too. The tannins are pronounced and sturdy, not quite ready to calm down. Intensely earthy, complex, and feral, there’s a reprieve on the velvety midpalate, leading to a finishing touch of oyster shell and sea spray. This is a wild wine ready to meld a bit more in the bottle; enjoy best 2028-2038.
