Epoch - 2020 - Block B - 750 ml.

Subregion: Willow Creek District

Epoch Estate — Block B (Paderewski Vineyard) is a focused, single-block Syrah farmed in the Willow Creek District of Paso Robles and crafted to express savory, Rhône-inspired character. This 100% Syrah leans into dark, savory flavors—black olive, roasted meat, and concentrated dark berries—lifted by a subtle floral thread that keeps the wine from feeling heavy. The palate is full-bodied with firm presence and a layered midpalate that makes it an ideal companion for grilled steak, lamb chops, roasted game and hearty stews. It also stands up to aged hard cheeses, where its savory-black-fruit profile and oak-savvy structure reveal additional complexity. Sourced from the Paderewski Vineyard, Block B represents small-lot, site-driven winemaking: attentive farming, single-block selection and a stylistic nod to classic Northern Rhône Syrah while remaining unmistakably Paso Robles in ripeness and intensity. The wine’s combination of roasted-meat savor, olive tapenade nuance and a floral top note makes it particularly appealing to cooks and diners who favor bold, savory pairings. Expect a wine that is both immediate and rewarding with food, offering enough structure to age a handful of years in a cool cellar but also open enough to enjoy now with the right meal. For collectors and enthusiasts drawn to restrained, terroir-driven Syrah from an esteemed Paso Robles site, Epoch Estate Block B is a perceptive, limited-production bottle worth seeking out.
