  • 2009 Copain Syrah Les Voisins - USA, California, North Coast, Yorkville Highlands (6/6/2014)
    Violet black color, just slightly lightening at the edges. Aromas bursting on the palate- smoked meats, violets, blackcurrant, tomato skin, black olive and black tea. Juicy, forward, and primary on the palate, showing a nice range of vivid flavors consistent with the bouquet. Good depth and balance. Nice acid with fat polished tannins, and good finishing length. This is showing very well right now- quite good. (92 pts.)

I had this several times a while back including my last time at the winery. I think it’s the best “drink me right now” young Syrah I’ve ever had. Really wonderful nose.

Craig, I got the same feeling when I tasted it two years ago at the winery. It’s only improved since, perhaps developing some slight savory nuances, and still primed for young drinking.

Wow! When I had it a year or so ago, I really liked it but thought it needed five years or so to settle down.
