Sweet, floral notes meld into dark fruit, road tar and crushed rocks as the 2010 Authenticity opens up in the glass. The 2010 is a gorgeous, elegant wine endowed with considerable polish. In 2010, winemaker Jordan Fiorentini used 38% whole clusters, high for Epoch, and also fermented a portion of the fruit in concrete, both of which seem to work beautifully here. Authenticity is one of the most refined of these 2010s. The blend is 76% Syrah, 24% Mourvedre. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2017 Score: 92-95 —Antonio Galloni *LIMITED* Learn More

Epoch’s 2010 Ingenuity bursts from the glass with massive dark fruit and a rich, powerful personality. Provencal herbs, mint and tobacco develop later, adding considerable complexity and nuance. Still, this remains a massive, virile wine endowed with tons of structure and heft, some of which comes from the use of Petit Verdot, which is not commonly found in Paso. The blend in 2010 is 62% Syrah, 14% Mourvedre, 12% Grenache and 12% Petite Sirah. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2017. Score: 92-94 —Antonio Galloni *LIMITED* Learn More
