Tuesday, September 13, 2022 - Tasted at a trade event in NJ. This is a new producer to me. It is the new estate of the ex-owner/winemaker at Copain who, after selling that winery, settled with his family in the Anderson Valley. All of the wines have an old world sensibility and see little to no new oak. This wine is made from a blend of both purchased grapes and some estate grapes. This is a really lovely wine. Bright with acidity, measured in intensity but with a mineral backbone and nice, mostly strawberry fruit notes. Nice length on the finish. This was a nice introduction to a producer I will have to keep a close eye on.
