Epoch Estate Wines - Estate Blend 2020 (750ml)

95 Points Jeb Dunnuck

 “The 2020 Estate Blend is brilliant, and I'd put it up with the top wines in the vintage. A blend of 46% Syrah, 24% Grenache, and smaller portions of Mourvèdre, Tempranillo, Graciano, Zinfandel, and Carignan, it has a pure, layered bouquet of black and blue fruits, peppery herbs, and spring flowers that carries to a medium to full-bodied, seamless red with beautiful tannins and a great finish. It's also one of the larger production wines in the lineup as well, so don't miss it.” (JD)

94 Points Vinous

 “Black raspberry, dried flowers and white pepper form the 2020 Estate Blend's inviting bouquet. This is soft and soothing on the palate. Crisp red and black fruits cascade throughout, underpinned by saline mineral tones that drench the senses. The 2020 finishes incredibly long and staining with fine-grain tannins. Licorice traces slowly fade. In 2020, the estate blend is all Paderewski vineyard fruit, as York Mountain was more heavily affected by smoke.” (EG)
