Epoch Estate 2022 Veracity

Winery Notes:

With a bit more Mourvèdre than in the past, the 2022 Veracity is full and velvety smooth with notes of earth, roasted herbs, violet/lavender, hibiscus, kirsch, naval orange, black licorice, autumn forest, cracked pepper, and steely minerals.  With two waves of lushness – in the front and again on the back palate – sensation is fluid and even, without any areas lingering out of balance.  Tannins are broad, chewy, and ripe, elongating the mouthfeel and making the wine approachable now, however, it is sure to reveal more nuance with time in the bottle.

Composition: 54% Mourvèdre, 28% Grenache, 18% Syrah
