Epoch Estate Wines Syrah, York Mountain, USA 2022

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.

"The 2022 Syrah York Mountain reveals darker berries, peppery herbs, charcoal, and smoked earth notes in a meaty, mineral-laced profile. Made from 100% Syrah and aged 18 months in French oak mid-sized barrels (30% new), it's balanced and medium to full-bodied, with ripe, polished tannins, remarkable purity, and a great finish."
