Note di degustazione
Composed of 47% Grenache Blanc, 39% Viognier and 14% Roussanne, the 2016 Epoch White opens with lovely floral notes of honeysuckle and orange blossom over a core of poached pears, preserved lemons and allspice. Medium to full-bodied and dry, with a pleasant suggestion of oiliness to the texture and a lively backbone lifting the spicy stone fruit and pear flavors, it finishes on a lingering white pepper note. Drinking deliciously now, it should age beautifully over the next six to eight years.

The 2016 Estate White checks in as a blend of 47% Grenache Blanc, 39% Viognier and the balance Roussanne, all of which spent 5 months, on lees, in 61% concrete tanks and the rest in 10% new barrels. It offers terrific notes of peach, spice, brioche and caramelized pineapple. Rich, unctuous and layered, yet with bright acidity and a great finish. Epoch’s Jordan Fiorentini has knocked it out of the park with these latest 2014s and 2015s, and I suspect these are the most complete, balanced wines from her to date. While the estate is located on York Mountain, all these wines come from their estate Paderewski Vineyard located off of Peachy Canyon road, on the westside of Paso Robles. As I hope the reviews and scores show, these are terrific wines.
