Description
Epoch Ingenuity 2014
95 points Wine Enthusiast. "Viscous and dark in the glass, this wine's unctuous nose shows black currant, violet and a hint of hot asphalt. The blend of 50% Syrah, 25% Grenache, 18% Mourvèdre and 7% Petite Sirah is tight on the palate, where a tarry texture carries flavors of concentrated black currant, fresh blackberry and wild chaparral herbs." Drink now through 2029.
About Ingenuity 2014
Explosive on the first pour, you can’t get enough of the aromas – so much delicious fruit, sweet black licorice, and warm summer brush. Counter-intuitively, but so indicative of Epoch’s multi-varietal Rhone Blends when young, this wine becomes more convoluted and serious the more you sniff and taste. So outwardly vivacious on the first few sips, you’d think her personality would tame in the glass, but touché, she grows serious and more complex, leaving you yearning for what’s to come. With a great acid backbone and focused fruit, more grounding attributes of earth, sweet tar, dried sage, and briney olives present themselves once your senses grow accustomed to her outward fruity beauty.
