Polished and elegantly layered Grenache, Mourvèdre and Syrah offers red plum and black cherry on the nose, with scent of cigar box, forest floor, bay, baking spices and vanilla. Expressive black raspberry, sassafras and smoky pepper flavors that linger with salted dark chocolate, red plum, black raspberry, and cherry on the finish.

More About Epiphany

Montagu
2024 Pinot Noir, Charles Heintz Vineyard
Sonoma Coast

95 Points
Displays a bright ruby hue. The nose reveals red cherries, bright red berries, subtle spring florals, and pie spices. On the palate, cherry cola, black tea, and liquid saline/minerals dominate, backed by vibrant, fresh acidity. It remains clean and elegant, with a young, firm structure and satiny tannin grip that suggests a decade of positive evolution in the cellar. A solid, well-made effort from this world class vineyard.
