Epoch Estate Wines 2013 Ingenuity Red (Paso Robles)

Country: US / California
Variety: Rhône-style Red Blend
Winery: Epoch Estate Wines / Ingenuity

The winery’s characteristic dense style is immediately apparent in this blend of 54% Syrah, 21% Mourvèdre, 16% Grenache and 9% Petite Sirah. It offers black licorice, smoked meat, baked black cherry and graphite aromas, needing time to breathe before unleashing black coffee, elderberry jam, asphalt and charcoal flavors through tarry tannins. Drink 2018–2028.
