Epoch Estate 2009 Veracity Paso Robles Red Wine

The Wine Advocate

92 points, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate August 2011. The 2009 Veracity is 36% Grenache, 32% Mourvedre and 32% Syrah. A sweet, floral bouquet melds into an expressive core of fruit in this gorgeous wine. At once expansive yet restrained, the Veracity shows striking purity and tons of class. Rose petals and sweet spices linger on the attractive finish. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2019.

About the Winery:
Epoch Estate Wines was established in 2004 with one extraordinary mission: create truly world-class wines. After a pain-staking, world-wide search to find the ideal terroir, a small pocket of land located between Paso Robles and the Pacific Ocean was discovered. Experienced vineyard manager John Crossland, the talent and experience of acclaimed winemaker Justin Smith (of Saxum) and the passion of owners Liz and Bill Armstrong are the heart of the Epoch team. Located in the rapidly emerging west Paso Robles region of California's Central Coast, Epoch Estate Wines is dedicated to the boutique production of ultra-premium quality Rhone variety, Tempranillo and Zinfandel wines.
