Epoch Authenticity, Paso Robles, USA 2020

Epoch Estate Wines is one of Paso Robles’ most compelling terroir-driven producers, centered around historic Paderewski Vineyard, originally planted in the early 1900s by famed Polish pianist and statesman Ignacy Jan Paderewski. Founded by geologists Bill and Liz Armstrong, Epoch focuses on Rhône varieties, particularly Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvèdre. With organic and biodynamic farming across its estate vineyards. Their beautifully structured, site-driven wines, including the flagship Veracity and Paderewski Vineyard bottling, combine Paso’s power with remarkable freshness, minerality, and savory complexity.

"All Syrah from the Paderewski Vineyard, the 2020 Authenticity offers more red, blue, and black fruits, and it's always a prettier, more floral wine compared to the Block B, displaying beautiful spice, pepper, and underbrush nuances. This full-bodied, graceful, layered, elegant 2020 is another one of the gems in the vintage." Jeb Dunnuck 96
