2007 Epoch
Estate Veracitee $55.99
From The Rhone Review:A blend of 48% grenache, 39% mourvedre and 13% syrah, the 2007 Veracitee was reticent on the nose but opened up nicely with air to
show
pure, fresh aromatics. Beautiful blackberry jam notes are mixed with
spiced
meat, underbrush and a hint of sweet oak on the nose and these carries
over
onto the palate where the wine is medium to full bodied, textured,
balanced and
silky. This showed more structure on the second day and is a knockout
wine to
drink over the next 10 years. 93 pts.
2007 Epoch
Authenticitee $55.99
From The Rhone Review: The 2007 Authenticitee is a blend of 88% syrah and 12% mourvedre and
shows fantastic aromatics. Big, dark and ripe with loamy earth,
minerals,
blackberry, cassis and spice aromas that are supported by hot asphalt
and beef
juice nuances. The palate is medium to full bodied with a smooth, silky
texture, sweet fruit, nice acidity and a long, clean finish. While this
has
big, sweet fruit, it also has restraint and the acidity keeps it clean
and
fresh. I'd drink these over the next 10 years. 94 pts.
2007 Epoch
Estate Ingenuitee $55.99
From The Rhone Review: The most structured and tannic of the
releases, the 2007 Ingenuitee is an interesting blend of 46% grenache,
43%
syrah and 9% petite sirah with a dash of mourvedre and zinfandel thrown
in for
good measure. On the nose, this has an almost funky earth slant and I
thought
there was more mourvedre than there actually was. Spiced meat,
underbrush,
leather and a little game notes are framed beautifully by serious dark
fruit
and licorice aromas. The palate is even better and is full bodied,
perfectly
balanced and stacked with a mouth coating, rich texture. The structure
here is
notable but the tannins are perfectly ripe and silky, making this
enjoyable
now. This is another winner to drink over coming decade or longer.326
cases. 94 pts.
