Jeb Dunnuck 98

The 2018 Epoch Block B from Paso Robles’ Paderewski Vineyard is a powerful, Rhône-style Syrah that has earned near-perfect scores—97 points from Wine Enthusiast and 98 points from Jeb Dunnuck—thanks to its dense aromas of blackberry, blueberry, cocoa dust, cardamom, and truffle, layered with flavors of cassis, mocha, roasted meat, olive brine, wet earth, minerals, and pepper. With velvety yet chalky tannins, a bone-dry mouthfeel, and a long, savory finish, this wine showcases both elegance and intensity, backed by 15.3% ABV and 19 months in French oak (82% new). Age-worthy through 2030, it is considered one of Epoch’s flagship Syrahs, ideal for collectors and perfect alongside beef, lamb, venison, or earthy dishes like mushroom risotto.
