Wine Review: This dark red colored Pinot Noir from Copain opens with a strawberry and pomegranate bouquet with notes of oak. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced and easy to drink. The flavor profile is a mild strawberry and gentle oak blend with notes of red plum. I also picked up hints of red raspberry and red cherry at the very end. The finish is dry and fades away nicely. This Pinot, while not complex, will be a crowd pleaser and not last long. It is quite versatile and will pair with many foods. I would pair it with grilled mahi-mahi. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: Derived from the Deep End of Anderson Valley, our 2016 "Les Voisins" Pinot Noir is a powerhouse in a concise package. Upfront, the wine is brimming with aromas of blueberry compote, kirsch and wet sandstone. The plush, yet dense palate is very approachable while showing layer upon layer of complexity with each swirl of the glass. Blackberry and graphite flavor dance together. The finish is lengthy and persistent. This wine is the perfect introduction to new Pinot Noir fans and will also please the most critical fans of classic Burgundy.
