The 2012 Estate Blend consists of 45% Syrah, 24% Mourvèdre, 20% Grenache and 11% Tempranillo sourced from the Paderewski and Catapult Vineyards. It shows wonderful concentration and depth, delivering intense aromas of red and black fruits, followed by kirsch liquor, spices, pepper, violets and touch of licorice and black olive which all come together and leap from the glass. It possesses a full body with a wonderful round, velvety texture as it heads into the long persistent finish, where it leaves behind another layer of dark fruits and peppery spices. This Estate Blend shows wonderful “Rhône-like” characteristics and should continue to evolve over the next decade. Overall, a fantastic job by Jordan Fiorentini and the winemaking team at Epoch.
