2015 Horsepower Vineyards Syrah The Tribe Vineyard rioja-alta It still shows lovely purityOf these three offerings from Horsepower, the 2015 Syrah The Tribe Vineyard will require the most time, as it's the most tight knit at this early stage, slowly unwinding in the glass with savory aromas of raw cocoa, tapenade, nori and ripe blackberries. On the palate, it's full bodied, deep and concentrated, with a rich chassis of satiny structuring tannins and a layered, umami laden core of fruit. At 13. 6% alcohol, it's also beautifully balanced.
