Epoch Estate Wines 2013 Veracity Red (Paso Robles)

Country: US / Veracity
Variety: Rhône-style Red Blend California
Winery: Epoch Estate Wines / Paso Robles

There are two levels of aroma to this blend of 49% Grenache, 34% Mourvèdre and 17% Syrah: a bright floral touch and gravel-like minerality surround a deeper core of black currant and blueberry fruit. The palate is still quite tight, with elderberry, olallieberry and violet flavors, presented with a leathery texture. It shows lots of potential but still needs time. Drink 2018–2023.
