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.

Wiine Advocate | 95 Pts
The 2021 Veracity comes from all three of Epoch's estate vineyards: Paderewski (73%), York Mountain (14%) and Catapult (13%). It's an elegant, dangerously easy-to-drink blend of 43% Mourvèdre, 34% Grenache and 23% Syrah matured for 17 months in 20% new French oak. It takes some time in the glass to reveal aromas of wild berry fruit, mixed tea leaves and graphite. The medium-bodied palate is bursting with gregarious layers of spicy fruit. It balances finely chalky tannins with fireworks of fresh acidity and has a long, juicy finish. 95+ (EB)
