Saturday, May 16, 2015 - Copain Dinner With Wells Guthrie In The OC (The Loft @ Montage, Laguna Beach CA): Opened in prep for dinner this evening, poured at room temp of 66f. Listed at 12.4%, which I find unique given the ripeness potential that the 12 vintage permitted. Boy, right from bottle, this shows its structure and grip. Tannic. Aromatics show the lift of potpourri and graphite. This Baker shows the elegant style of the new era Copain syrahs, reminding me stylistically of the 10 vintage, where there is plenty of fresh fruit and then the finish allows for the game and meatier notes to fill in. Like the 10, the berry freshness and moderate color to allow the wine to not be heavy. For me, what I believe is the real essence of the new era Copain syrahs is the ability to get lots of freshness at low ABV. Beautiful in the new Copain style.
