Ranked #3 on Wine Enthusiast’s “Top 100 Wines of 2024”: Mourvèdre-led blend with Grenache and Syrah: praised for balance and complexity

The Epoch Veracity Rhône-style blend blurs the line between Old World structure and New World fruit intensity. Built on a backbone of complex Mourvèdre and vibrant Grenache, it opens with a seductive bouquet of black raspberry, dark plum, sweet lavender, and cocoa. On the palate, the wine delivers full-bodied richness balanced by mouthwatering acidity and a distinctly chalky, rock-mineral texture derived from west Paso Robles' historic limestone slopes.Unlike lighter GSM expressions, Veracity’s robust tannic matrix demands patience. While enticing in its youth when properly decanted, this collectible cuvée evolves beautifully over a decade, making it a highly sought-after cornerstone for serious collectors tracking California’s premium wine movement
