A Copain and a Switchback

WINE TALK

  • 2006 Copain Syrah Garys’ Vineyard - USA, California, Central Coast, Santa Lucia Highlands (4/4/2011)
    The nose has dark fruits and stones? Mineral quality to the nose that follows in the palate. More european with smoke, a coolness to the fruit and grilled notes. Definitely not a fruit forward syrah (take that with a grain of salt, I like them big.) Grainy texture and a slam shut finish. Some time will mellow this out.

  • 2007 Switchback Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon Peterson Family Vineyard - USA, California, Napa Valley (4/4/2011)
    Soft and elegant, certainly fruity, but soft none the less. The nose has some mocha and dark fruits, and the palate holds on to the dark fruits with some smoke. Velvety texture and smooth finish. Ive learned from previous bottles to drink it quickly, because it seems to fall appart. Didnt have time to this time :wink:
