Epoch Estate Wines
Ingenuity Red Rhone Blend
Paso Robles, Central Coast, California, USA
Deep ruby in color with a short brick rim.
Beautiful nose of stewed plums, cherries, raisins, dried figs, black currants, wildflowers, cedar, vanilla, alcohol, licorice, spices, tobacco, light earth, chocolates and dark coffee.
Full bodied and bold with medium acidity.
Dry and very fruity on the palate with blackberries, cooked plums, sweet cherries, figs, raisins, cedar, licorice, cola, chocolates, vanilla, coffee, tobacco, peppercorn and espresso.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and red chili powder.
This is a wonderful Syrah blend from Paso Robles. Rich and elegant. This 8 year old is Showing great complexity with a great mouthfeel.
Peaking now and will be good in the next couple of years, so drink up if you have any.
Good right out of the bottle, and better after 30 minutes of airtime.
Drinks like an aged Napa Petite Sirah. Delicious.
Robert Parker 96 points. Wine Enthusiasts 94 points.
Thank you Scott for sharing this with me.
A great wine to have all by itself and talk about. I paired it with a Charcuterie board of meats and cheeses.
A blend of 54% Syrah, 21% Mourvèdre, 16% Grenache and 9% Petite Sirah. Aged for 17 months in 49% new French oak barrels.
15.8% alcohol by volume.
94 points.
$70 (current vintage).

This stuff was absolutely amazing. Like, a baby SQN, and not near the price. Certified organic, and owned by two Dallas natives!
A blend of 2 great vineyards: Paderewksi (which is used in some of the Saxum wines), and Catapult.

A big bold and tannic blend with some unexpected polish and finesse.
