2006 Copain Cerise Vineyard Anderson Valley Pinot Noir
13.6%
alc., $54.
·Complex aromatic profile showing black fruits, forest floor,
smoke, oak and a whiff of alcohol. Earth-dusted dark fruit which is
herbal and wood-toned. Massive fruit lacks finesse. Deep, dark and
mysterious, and very primal. Not for Pinot Noir purists. Needs time to
shed its bold tannins. Very typical of this vineyard.Reviewed June 9, 2008
