The Grenache-based 2009 Sensibility is quite powerful at first, but then loses some of its complexity on the mid-palate and finish. Dark red cherries, herbs and spices are some of the notes that are found in the glass. The 2009 is 75% Grenache, 21% Mourvedre and 4% Syrah. It is ideally enjoyed over the next 2-3 years. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2014.
Epoch is one of the up and coming estates in Paso Robles. I tasted every wine made at Epoch since inception over the several hours I spent at the winery in June. Winemaker Jordan Fiorentini is trying to give each of the Epoch wines a clearer identity, something that has been missing in previous vintages, but that isn’t all that surprising given the very young age of the estate’s vineyards. With each passing year the wines are stronger. It seems quite obvious the best is yet to come. I tasted the 2010 Estate White, Veracity, Sensibility, Zinfandel and Estate Blend from bottle, and the rest of the 2010 reds in their final blends, from barrel. All of these wines are made from Epoch’s Paderweski Vineyard, which also supplies fruit to a small number of other artisan producers.
