WINE DESCRIPTION
Epoch Estate Veracity is a unique red blend from the Paso Robles appellation. This wine is crafted from grapes grown in Paderewski, Catapult, and York Mountain Vineyards. The vineyard features high levels of warmth and sunshine that contribute to the wine's distinctly ripe flavor profile. The blend is based on Mourvedre and Grenache with some Syrah in support. The winemaking process involves careful attention to detail, with a focus on preserving the natural qualities of the grapes through a low level application of new oak. The result is a wine that exudes elegance and finesse, for such a bold style. Epoch Estate Veracity is a true testament to the artistry and dedication of its creators.

ORIGINS
Winery: Epoch Estate
Region: Central Coast California
The Central Coast of California is a wine lover's paradise, boasting a wide variety of climates, soils, and grape varieties. Located between San Francisco and Los Angeles, the Central Coast spans from Monterey County in the north to Santa Barbara County in the south. With its diverse topography and Mediterranean climate, the Central Coast is home to some of the most renowned wineries in the United States.
The Central Coast has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The first vineyards were planted in the Santa Clara Valley, and by the late 1800s, the region was producing some of the finest wines in the country. The region's reputation for quality wines was further solidified in the early 1989, when the Santa Clara Valley was declared among the first American Viticultural Area (AVA) in the United States.CUSTOMER RATING
