2006 Copain Hacienda Secoya Vineyard Anderson Valley Pinot Noir

13.2% alc., $47. · This wine has the most charm and pinotosity of the three 2006 Pinot Noirs tasted. That said, it has a gripy edge with plenty of acidity. The nose is shy and needs coaxing to bring out the savory herbs, strawberry and barnyard scents. The flavors tend toward the red spectrum and are tart. Silky in texture but a bit flat. Noticeable tannins will need time to soften. Reviewed June 9, 2008
