Epoch 2021 Estate Blend

Winery Notes:

Serious and starting off tightly wound, our 2021 Estate Blend is begging for a decant or to be opened hours before consuming.  Weighing more heavily on the savory, saline, and brine elements at first, the aromas start to evolve as this wine opens like a large hardback novel with the pages fanning out.  Kalamata olives, leather, wet forest floor, and roasted game open to pure blackberry, black plum, tobacco, bay leaf, vanilla, anise, and graphite.  Powerful structure juts out in all directions as the wine fills the mouth with abundant texture and spice.  Keep this bottle open for several days and witness how long it continues to offer different perspectives and textures – a true harbinger of the age-worthiness of this wine.

Composition: 40% Syrah, 24% Mourvèdre, 12% Grenache, 9% Graciano, 8% Tempranillo, and 7% Carignan
