Did you know…. 🌳
The back of our Epoch Winery is a gun barrel shape! When the winery was being built, we wanted to ensure the two existing Paso Robles oak trees were preserved. Thus making our barrel storage area lengthy and underground in between and beneath the two trees!

New to Epoch?!
Thanks for following us!
However you may have found us, we are so glad you are here.

Epoch started back in 2004, this year is our 20th Anniversary! We own three estate vineyards on the west side of Paso Robles and our tasting room is located on York Mountain - the perfect stop if your heading towards the coast!
.
.
Our Epoch Tasting Room is a captivating sight, constructed using reclaimed materials sourced from the original York Mountain Winery - all from the late 1880`s!
.
.
We strive to craft wines that are both elegant and bold, wines that are testaments to the special sites on which they were grown. Each vintage, we refine the art of balancing fruit, acidity, tannin, and alcohol, with the goal that every person who drinks a glass of Epoch can taste our dedication to quality and our admiration for our vineyards.

We love sharing our Epoch story and Epoch wine`s with new friends. Come visit us soon, we look forward to meeting you!

Fun Facts about Wine 🍷🍷
1. The aroma of wine is composed of hundreds of different compounds, which can include fruity, floral, spicy, and earthy notes.
2. Moderate consumption of red wine has been associated with several health benefits, thanks in part to its antioxidant content.
3. Thomas Jefferson was a wine enthusiast!

Where all the magic happens… the Epoch Barrel Room! How long does wine typically age in barrel? For Epoch, we typically age our red wines in barrel for 18-20 months.

Learn more about head winemaker Jordan Fiorentini`s visual tasting note she creates for each wine -VINPRESSION®
There are three essential components to wine tasting: flavor, aroma, and texture. While we are accustomed to describing wines in terms of their flavors and aromas, texture is challenging to articulate in words yet absolutely essential to understanding the essence of a wine. Texture is what gives wine its complexity and dimension; it is a window into the winemaker’s decisions in the vineyard and winery, and it is what I am highly focused on when I grow, make, and taste wine. Learning how to communicate the overall textural experience of wine to the consumer has been a challenge and a goal over my career as a winemaker.
When I taste a wine, I sense its texture as shapes that move across my palate following the flow of the wine from the front to the back of the mouth. For more than a decade now, I have drawn these shapes in graphical form to create a wine’s visual tasting notes. I call them VINPRESSION® visual tasting notes.
- Jordan Fiorentini
Summer sunsets, velvety skies, and glasses filled with Paso`s finest. We love Paso Robles in June! 🍷💛

Epoch’s 2019 York Mountain Syrah was featured by Decanter Magazine in their article American Syrah: 30 top buys with a score of 96 points. For over 40 years, Decanter has been the trusted source for international wine lovers, offering expert reviews, fascinating winery stories, and the latest trends in wine. This kind of recognition on an international scale makes us feel incredibly proud and excited about the future of Epoch.
Our 2019 York Mountain Syrah is made entirely from grapes off our York Mountain Vineyard. This vineyard site is located just seven miles from the Pacific Ocean at an elevation of 1,500 feet and falls in the small 640 acre York Mountain AVA, which is outside of the very large Paso Robles AVA. The soils and climate here are very different than our other two vineyards; at York, you’ll find sand and sandstone soils (a stark contrast to the limestone you’d find over at Paderewski Vineyard or the shale at Catapult Vineyard) along with a very moderate climate due to the even closer proximity to the Pacific Ocean. Because of its elevation and distance from the ocean, York Mountain receives more than twice the amount of rainfall as our other vineyards and has characteristic foggy mornings throughout the year with cool breezes all day long.
