Epoch Estate Wines Grenache, York Mountain, USA 2021

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.

"Slightly deeper hued than the Sensibility, the 2021 Grenache York Mountain offers a darker, meatier style in its darker berry fruits, ground pepper, iron, and smoked meat-like aromas and flavors. Rich and medium to full-bodied, it has plenty of tannins, a supple, layered, elegant mouthfeel, gorgeous purity, and a great finish." Jeb Dunnuck 97
