Kicking off our 2023 Harvest this morning!
#epoch #epochwinery #harvest #pasorobles #epochmoments
Tis` the season for harvest! When the Paso Robles wine region comes alive with vibrant colors, bustling activity, and a sense of celebration.... cheers to our 2023 Epoch Harvest that has officially started today!

Happy International Grenache Day! Epoch has around 22 acres of Grenache planted amongst our 3 estate vineyards!
Our featured single-varietal Grenache labels are our:
York Mountain Grenache
Power and grace merge in the York Mountain Grenache which boasts Old World charm with the intensity inherent to California. Dark and fleshy Amarena cherries, white and black pepper spice, candied orange peel, sweet leather, sun roasted sage, black licorice, and dried violets envelope the nose and race across the palate.
2018 York Mountain Grenache Scores: Jeb Dunnuck 96, Wine Advocate 96
Sensibility
A varietal Grenache (and usually 100%), Sensibility explores the more feminine side of the grape. Fermented in concrete and aged in a combination of concrete and neutral barrel, this wine’s pure fruit, freshness and site-driven minerality cannot be denied. Sensitive indeed!

“Epoch continues to pull heavily from their estate Paderewski Vineyard, but they’re also releasing new cuvées from their York Mountain estate as those vines come online. I expect this trend to continue. Looking at the wines reviewed here, I was able to taste all their 2020s now from bottle, and they’ve clearly produced some of the top wines in this challenging vintage. If there’s any smoke in these wines, I was unable to find it, and they have remarkable purity in their aromatics and ripe, polished tannins. I was also able to go through the 2021s with winemaker Jordan Fiorentini, and there are some legit genius wines in here that are as good as anything out there. I’d wager these 2021s are some of the finest wines produced from this estate, and I can’t wait to try them again from bottle next year.” - @jebdunnuck

Bill & Liz Armstrong, Epoch’s Owners, met at SMU freshman year in Geology 101. Both are still super involved in all things SMU, and today their alma mater received some very exciting news: SMU is moving to the ACC!! We think there is no better way to celebrate than with a glass of Epoch, so we have put together a special “Pony Express” case of wine available now on our website. Epoch is also the new sponsor of an SMU athletics podcast, so for football and SMU fans alike, be sure to check out Bill Armstrong talking wine, SMU, and the ACC on the “On the Pony Express Podcast” linked in our bio. Cheers! 🏈🍷

August has passed and Labor Day Weekend is upon us…!
September is here and one of our favorite featured wines in the tasting room, 2021 York Mountain Viognier, just scored 96 points from Jen Dunnuck✨

Our only site-specific white wine from York Mountain Vineyard, the 2021 York Mountain Viognier. 96 points, Jeb Dunnuck

“Looking at the 2021 Viognier York Mountain, which comes from a cooler terroir west of Paso Robles and includes 5% Roussanne, it has a Château Grillet-like perfume of white flowers, crushed stone, tangerine, and orange liqueur that`s something to behold. Medium-bodied on the palate, with bright acidity and a clean, lengthy style, it has remarkable minerality and tension while at the same time staying quintessentially Viognier. I`d put this beauty up with the finest expression of the variety in California, and it will stand toe to toe with the best Condrieu out there.”
- Jeb Dunnuck

When setting out on our “crazy” quest to make wine, we did not have our sights set on any particular wine region. However, we knew two things for sure: we loved wines made from Rhone varieties, and being geologists, we understood the importance terroir plays in the making of world-class wines. Upon extensive research and travel, we kept coming back to Paso Robles for the weather, unique soils, hilliness, and extreme temperature swings that are known to this region and are found within each of our vineyard sites – Paderewski, Catapult, and York Mountain. The cowboy culture, entrepreneurial spirit, and unmistakable beauty were just added bonuses!

The sandstone soils, mild coastal climate, and high winter rainfall here make the York Mountain wines not only distinct in location, but in character as well!
