Another high point of the Epoch lineup is the 2022 Syrah York Mountain, which offers a dark, serious, gamey nose chock-full of cracked black pepper, charcoal embers and beautiful umami-driven flourishes of kelp that I find quite rare in Paso Robles Syrah. The palate is massive in its richness and concentration while remaining savory and classy, perfectly propped up by balancing acidity and fine tannins. The finish is full-throttle and relentlessly intense, circling back to the spice-driven lusciousness of the nose. This is a fantastic expression of this unique subregion and one of my favorite wines of the vintage.

Varietal

Syrah

Known as Syrah in most countries around the world, and Shiraz in Australia and certain other regions of the New World, this grape varietal has proven over the centuries to be one of the most powerful and flavorful red wine grapes there is. It is now one of the planet's most widely grown grapes, and is a favorite with wineries as a result of its robustness and versatility. It isn't easy to identify many characteristics of this particular varietal, due to the fact that it is highly versatile and shows significant differences in flavor and character depending on the terroir it is grown in, and the climatic conditions of the region. However, Syrah is most widely associated with full bodied, strong and loud red wines, packed full of fruity and spicy flavors, held in a beautifully deep red liquid.

Country

United States

Of all the New World wine countries, perhaps the one which has demonstrated the most flair for producing high quality wines - using a combination of traditional and forward-thinking contemporary methods - has been the United States of America. For the past couple of centuries, the United States has set about transforming much of its suitable land into vast vineyards, capable of supporting a wide variety of world-class grape varietals which thrive on both the Atlantic and the Pacific coastlines. Of course, we immediately think of sun-drenched California in regards to American wines, with its enormous vineyards responsible for the New World's finest examples of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot based wines, but many other states have taken to viticulture in a big way, with impressive results. Oregon, Washington State and New York have all developed sophisticated and technologically advanced wine cultures of their own, and the output of U.S wineries is increasing each year as more and more people are converted to their produce.

Region

California

California as a wine producing region has grown in size and importance considerably over the past couple of centuries, and today is the proud producer of more than ninety percent of the United States' wines. Indeed, if California was a country, it would be the fourth largest producer of wine in the world, with a vast range of vineyards covering almost half a million acres. The secret to California's success as a wine region has a lot to do with the high quality of its soils, and the fact that it has an extensive Pacific coastline which perfectly tempers the blazing sunshine it experiences all year round. The winds coming off the ocean cool the vines, and the natural valleys and mountainsides which make up most of the state's wine regions make for ideal areas in which to cultivate a variety of high quality grapes.

Highly expressive and Old World inspired, the 2022 Syrah wafts up with an array of savory herbs, ashen stone, blood orange and blackberry. It sweeps across the palate, cool toned and racy, with polished red and black fruit swirling beneath an air of violet inner florals. A hint of green olive mingles with liquid rock and mineral, all framed by edgy tannins. The finish is long and perfectly balanced.

The 2022 Syrah York Mountain reveals darker berries, peppery herbs, charcoal, and smoked earth notes in a meaty, mineral-laced profile. Made from 100% Syrah and aged 18 months in French oak mid-sized barrels (30% new), it's balanced and medium to full-bodied, with ripe, polished tannins, remarkable purity, and a great finish. Drink 2025-2035.

Deeply scented with blackcurrants, roasted meat and red peppercorns. The palate is lush and giving with firm tannins, showing notes of blackberry compote, dark cherries, mocha, cocoa and earth. A blend of 96% syrah, 2% roussane and 2% viognier that was co-fermented. Drink or hold.
