Red Wine, GSM (Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre)

Wine Advocate 95

Authenticity is a very authentic blend with primarily Syrah from one very steep limestone hillside at Paderewski and blended with a neighboring block of Mourvèdre to yield a supple, sultry and seamless wine that is classically Paderewski. Sometimes we co-ferment some Syrah with a neighboring Viognier block to add a little spice and freshness to the mix. This wine is deemed “The Bill Wine” because it has many gears – big and bold yet elegant and refined.

Epoch Estate Wines Authenticity is a powerhouse, ultra-luxury California Syrah crafted for wine lovers seeking the absolute pinnacle of Paso Robles. Revered by top critics—earning consistent 97 to 98-point reviews from Robert Parker and Jeb Dunnuck—this rare, small-batch red is the ultimate showstopper for your cellar or dinner table. Grown on the breathtaking, sun-drenched limestone hills of the famed Paderewski Vineyard, Authenticity delivers an unforgettable taste of bold New World fruit perfectly balanced by elegant Old World complexity.

This exquisite blend pours a deep, ink-purple color and immediately fills the room with intoxicating aromas of ripe blackberries, blueberry pie, melted dark chocolate, and sweet violet flowers. Hints of savory espresso and cracked pepper add a layer of sophistication that keeps you coming back for another sip.On the palate, Authenticity is pure luxury. It coats the mouth with a rich, velvety texture and layers of dark fruit, yet it never feels heavy.
