Community Tasting Note

Thursday, January 12, 2012 - Opened 2 nights ago so it's had plenty of ox time. Listed alc 13.5%. The aromatics on the first night were full of bacon fat and florals, less of them now but still present today, along with some whole cluster signature and crushed rocks. The palate is about flashy blueberry fruit, with some shading of black raspberry--both come together and reflect a more forward, more riper side. Medium weighted and a bit more new world-like than say the Hawks or Halcon, absent here of the usual Copain minerality, tapenade, spice and acid that is a signature of the Copain single vineyard syrahs. A good near term drinker, as the acid is not all that high and the fruit is direct and more flamboyant for Copain.
