Copain
Kiser "En Haut" Anderson Valley Pinot Noir
Anderson Valley, North Coast, California, USA
A lot of complex red fruit and herbal notes. Soft tannin and acid on the finish.

Disappointing. Muted nose even with time. Acidic but lacking depth. Perhaps I’m projecting but seems like an attempt to purposefully go underripe in order to mimic a more Burgundian feel. Lacks the aromatics and depth I would expect. Have had other bottles of Copain that were better, and this was the year that Copain really turned around stylistically - maybe Wells was still figuring it out with this one. Or I’m just projecting and it was just a poorly stored bottle.

A dark ruby red, the '07 Copain Pinot Noir 'Kiser "En Haut"' is a beautifully evolved effort that has blossomed perfectly. The energetic cranberry, pomegranate, lavender and forest floor scents are nose-piercing. The plush structured mouth is full of baking spice and chambord-like flavors. The acidity focuses the lengthy spice-laced finish quite well.
