Aromas of black and red cherries, cracked pepper, violets and orange peel. The palate is elegant with rounded acidity and fine spicy accents, finishing with pretty floral accents. This was aged for 17 months in mostly concrete and neutral wood.

Popped and poured, drank over two nights. So good. Better night two. Black cherry/raspberry/plum flavors. Same fruit mix for aromas. Resolved tannins, juicy on the palate. Delicious stuff.

I love this wine and it will get better. Needs decanting. Dark berry with floral notes and spices. Touch of vanilla on the edges with solid amount of oak. Long long finish! Medium heavy weight. Look forward to this wine in another year. Worthy of its name:)

Not sure I agree with all of the comments. Bottle was typical Epoch, but found it a bit closed down. Still have another bottle in the cellar - will wait.

Obviously I’m in the minority on this wine. Popped and poured. Very little on the nose besides alcohol (15.8%). Over time it developed some black fruits, oak, a bit of earthiness. Screams Paso Robles, but certainly not Mourvèdre of which it is 100%. Medium bodied, hot, very ripe, over extracted, blowsy. The finish is hot and cough syrupy. Shows every bit of its alcohol. Ironically we had a vintage port earlier and it seemed more nuanced and less alcoholic. Second day no improvement, still high octane cough syrup.

PNP at restaurant. Paired with pork chop and steak. Rich red fruit and a smooth, lush texture are the calling cards. Excellent wine.

With four years in the barrel and bottle the 100% varietal Mourvèdre is really good. Dark berries, chocolate with spice. A 45 second finish leave know doubt this wine is in its prime.

This was not what I expected, nose not particularly bold or pleasant, plum towards prune. Medium to full body, moderate alcohol and acidity, and medium finish. A little out of balance.

Cracked this open on NY style pizza nite, but gave it an hour before pouring. This was a nice Jordan Fiorentini-signed bottle, but the cork had some staining about 1/3 of the way up even though it has been kept in a Eurocave at correct temp and humidity since arrival. Fortunately, the wine was in a special place and singing in spite of the temp issue the cork indicates.

Dark red color, red and blue fruit on the nose and palate with additional notes of garrigue, leather, and a slight minerality. Full/medium body, long finish, and polished mouthfeel. Was expecting a 100% Mourvèdre to be overly tannic, but this was well balanced and delicious—and my drinking partners all wanted more. Kudos to the Epoch team for another winner!

I have enjoyed many Epoch wines over the years, but this is my first experience with the Creativity bottling. I did not enjoy this as much as the others. The alcohol is more dominant and the structure and complexity is not there. While I generally expect a “big wine” from Epoch, they are typically balanced, all things considered. Not the case with this one.

Drinking great now. Smoky, blueberry and spice aromas. The Mourvèdre has softened up, giving a luxurious mouthfeel. Cherry cola, blueberry and black pepper on the palate. One more of the '13 left but no hurry.

Very interesting. Have not ever had a 100% Mourvèdre wine. Dark fruit, leather, and pepper. Pepper was the first and foremost flavor profile that I noted out of the gate, and still it stands out 3 hours later.

Jordan for the win! Beautiful wine right now at 11-years old...100% Mourvedre. Predominantly blueberry fruit with some red/black cherry. Notes of violets, leather, cracked pepper, and some minerality to it. Nice acidity and tannin level with a wonderful long finish. Don't usually see many these in Paso...this one is a keeper.

Opened Christas evening 2020. Dark plums and currants, hint of caper/brine. Still tannin there but I wouldn’t wait much longer if you still want fruit. It’s got all the dark berry flavors that a Mouvedre should have. Medium bodied, a little bit lighter than your average decent Malbec. Would be perfect at this moment with a lean cut of red meat or something braised. As my wife just said, does not pair well with veggie chili (black beans, tomatoes, chili spices, not spicy) brought out too much pepper.

100% Mouvedre which is very difficult to find. Drank this far too early, but still enjoyed. Suspect if I revisit it in a year or two the rating will climb a couple of points.

Color somewhat lighter than I’d have thought: ruby, but transparent. Meat on the nose, along with some floral notes. Somewhat austere, but again meaty and dark fruit flavors. Some Bordeaux character, somewhat lean and long. Drink up.
