2017 Epiphany "Gypsy" Santa Barbara County Rhône Blend

SKU #1468540 93 points Wine Enthusiast

Outer quote mark This blend of 33% Counoise, 29% Grenache, 18% Mourvèdre, 16% Cinsault and 4% Syrah is quite dark and brooding, with earthy aromas of crushed stone, tar, dark strawberry and red currant. The palate packs in mulberry, charred berry, roasted lamb and strong pepper spice. (MK) Inner quote mark (4/2020)

90 points Jeb Dunnuck

Outer quote mark Black raspberries, blackberries, spice, bouquet garni, and peppery notes all emerge from the 2017 Gypsy, a juicy, fruit-forward, deliciously satisfying effort to enjoy over the coming 4-5 years. The blend is 33% Counoise, 29% Grenache, 18% Mourvèdre, 16% Cinsault, and the rest Syrah, all aged in 18% new larger French oak puncheons. Inner quote mark (10/2019)

90 points Vinous

Outer quote mark The 2017 Gypsy is an attractive red Rhone blend loaded with plump red berry fruit. Sweet tobacco, cedar, menthol, licorice and tobacco develop in the glass, but the Gypsy is mostly a wine to enjoy for its forward, juicy personality. (AG) Inner quote mark (9/2019)

90 points Wine & Spirits

Outer quote mark Based on counoise, with grenache, mourvedre, cinsault and syrah rounding it out, this has a strawberry brightness. It’s a sleek and darkly elegant wine that finishes with lift and freshness, ideal for a late-afternoon sip. Inner quote mark (2/2020)

Varietal:

Rhone Blends

Country:

United States

- When people consider domestic wine, they normally think about the state of California. The fine viticultural Region within California, including the Napa Valley, Sonoma, Santa Cruz Mountains, Mendocino and Santa Barbara, are capable of growing grapes of world-class quality. But there's plenty of fabulous wine coming from other states, too. Oregon, Washington and New York are also causing eyebrows (and glassware) to be raised around the world.

Sub-Region:

California

- With the explosive growth that California's wine industry has seen the past several years, it's easy to view winemaking and grape growing in the Golden State as a recent phenomenon. And while it's true that California's viticultural history is brief compared to several European countries, this state's roots date back well over 200 years. Due to the enormous response to California wine within the United States and worldwide, there are thousands of excellent and diverse wines being produced within the state each year.

Specific Appellation:

Santa Maria/Santa Barbara

- Santa Maria and Santa Ynez make up the two AVAs of Santa Barbara County, an area known for its natural beauty and temperate climate. The best grape-growing areas, however, are located on the very coastal reaches of these two appellations, and are cooled by ever-present fog and ocean breezes (it is even cooler and foggier here than Carneros!). As expected, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir thrive while the more inland zones lay claim to Bordeaux varietals and some Rhône blends.
