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

(Magnum) Like any valuable history the Transcendentalist employs the past to transfigure our understanding of the present and what will be in the days to come. If the IX/X/XI edition is any indication of what will be, there is much to look forward to. Scents of black cherry, grilled fig, caraway and fresh tilled earth breathe up from a harmonious palate of cherries jubilee, soft tar, wild fennel, croissant and mincemeat with piqued, spicy, cinnamon-laced tannins. Best if poured heartily with the closest of friends over evening-long dinners. *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

The 2010 Offering is a wine that captures the imagination and challenges expectations, it displays a beautiful purity and depth that is reminiscent of having a summer picnic in an ancient church. Resinous scents of black cherry cola, frankincense, fresh-peeled Clementine orange and vanilla extract lead to a well structured and balanced palate of curried mix-berry cobbler, tumeric, dark chocolate cocoa nibs and black pepper with rocky, persistent tannins. 48% Grenache from Santa Barbara Highlands, Alta Mesa and Larner, 29% Syrah from Bien Nacido, Watch Hill, Les Galets, Larner and Santa Barbara Highlands, 21% Mourvedre from Alta Mesa, Santa Barbara Highlands and Alta Colina, 2% Viognier from Bien Nacido Vineyard.
