Can’t seem to find much info on this Copain bottling on the internet. Perhaps a one off that wasn’t commercially released (it was sealed with a blank cork rather than the typical Copain branded one). Deep and savory. Still fairly youthful with ample dark fruit in the mix, but evolving nicely. — 7 days ago

Color of cloudy purple, dark red, and brown. Nose is plenty with ripe dark fruits, plum, coffee, flowering note. Taste is also dense and saturated, with notes like dates, plum, prune, juicy raisin, vanilla, and mixed with oak, and spice. Powerful flavors plus acidity to hide her alcohol strength. Slight sweetness, cedar or maple wood aftertaste, some oak, dried strawberries, juicy grapes, and just enough tannins, are all present and keep coming after a few sips. Very good one. — 7 days ago

Monthly WTF wine group meet up.

Honeysuckle, mint, lanolin, and butterscotch on the nose. It’s got a bit of wet fur, old lemon and old popcorn on the palate. I’d be more inclined to drink these early but this was still solid. — 3 days ago

Diggin it. Great acid to accompany the juicy melange of ripe fruit. Tannins are incredibly soft, pliant even. Nothing over the top, nothing out of place, true Zin with an expression of its old-vine, dry farmed, and rocky upbringing. Morello cherry, Santa Rosa plum, strawberry confit, sweet medicinal herb, fern, white pepper, purple flowers, something slightly meaty/savory that really adds flesh to wine, I love it. — 6 days ago

Tons of flowers and strawberry flavors. Nicely constructed. A fine Nebbiolo with a US passport — 13 days ago

I am no expert on California whites, but I can rate this relative to the general profile of Sauv blanc of Cali. Nothing offensive to find here, just generous mouthfeel with a clean dry finish. Organic is a plus :) I would buy again at 14$ — 8 days ago

Lush tanat. Such a good wine on a cold night in front of the fire. Meaty, heavy fruit forward, earthy camp fire love. — 7 days ago
