Winemaker Notes
The 2020 Estate Blend is brilliant, and I'd put it up with the top wines in the vintage. A blend of 46% Syrah, 24% Grenache, and smaller portions of Mourvèdre, Tempranillo, Graciano, Zinfandel, and Carignan, it has a pure, layered bouquet of black and blue fruits, peppery herbs, and spring flowers that carries to a medium to full-bodied, seamless red with beautiful tannins and a great finish. It's also one of the larger production wines in the lineup as well, so don't miss it.
Epoch Story
Founded in 2004 by geologists, Bill and Liz Armstrong, Epoch has quickly developed a big reputation for handcrafted, small-production wines with abundant personalities. Under the careful care of Winemaker, Jordan Fiorentini, Epoch is committed to producing world-class wines from Rhône, Zinfandel, and Tempranillo varieties grown on their three west Paso Robles vineyards – Paderewski, Catapult, and York Mountain. Epoch’s Tasting Room and Winery are located on the storied York Mountain which was once home to the first bonded winery on the central coast. Preserving the rich history found on this property as well as Paderewski Vineyard, a sight once owned and cherished by the late Polish Prime Minister and pianist, Ignacy Jan Paderewski, Epoch strives to carry on these legacies through their wines and the unique Epoch experience.
Through carefully managed, non-invasive farming, Epoch aims to bring the complex character of their vineyards into each bottle of wine they craft. All of Epoch's fruit comes from their three specific and unique sites: Paderewski, Catapult, and York Mountain Vineyards.
