Tastes a little on the tannic side for an ‘04 Pinot, with an astringency that locks down the fruit. But there’s a good core of sweet cherry and cranberry. Might soften by 2008.

Generous in ripe red cherry, plum, carob and anise flavors, this very dry Pinot has a unique touch of tangerine. Tasted spring of 2007, this showed firm, slightly hard tannins, suggesting a period in the cellar is warranted. Better after winter ’07, or decant for a bit if opening now.

The most complete and rewarding of Copain’s ’04 Pinots, the Kiser En Bas shows the vintner’s propensity for tannins, but offers a great wealth of cherries, raspberries, red currants, vanilla, lavender and cedar flavors that mitigate the slight astringency. Beautiful now, with decanting, and should develop over the next 3–5 years.

A wonderful Pinot Noir, made from a blend of various vineyards. Silky and refined, with a translucent texture that radiates terroir throughout. A lovely, complex young wine that should gain traction over the next several years.

Outstanding. So dry and elegant, with such a deft, delicate texture, yet so explosive in fruit and spice. Bone dry, it has notes of herbs, cinnamon, raspberries and white pepper. A gorgeous, complex wine, one to think about and discuss.

Brilliantly dry and rich in acidity, this Pinot feels very refined in the mouth. With relatively modest alcohol, it offers an elegant and refreshing alternative to the heavy style of many California Pinot Noirs. Offers notes of earth, cherries, mushrooms, spices and sweet sandalwood.

A fantastic mountain wine, distinct and compelling. Wonderfully rich aromas of tangerine rind and blueberry ride high over cassis, plum and the smoky vanillins of fine oak. Tastes as rich as it smells, a dense, lush wine with a huge mouthburst of sweet fruit, smooth, ripe tannins, and a long, spicy-peppery finish. Needs a few years to knit together.
