A fantastic young Syrah from Copain. Wells Guthrie, who has worked for Turley in California to the Rhone Valley in France, has produced a great value in this zesty, delicious Syrah.90 Points Robert Parker: "One of Copain’s best values every year is the Saisons des Vins Syrah, Guthrie’s interpretation of a St.-Joseph or Crozes-Hermitage. Reveals hints of tapenade, pepper, red cherries, and cassis along with zesty acidity and a fruit-driven style. About 15% whole clusters were used in its upbringing. This delicious, fun Syrah should drink well for 3-4 years."

Holy crap! Haven't had the 2013 but this is an impressive, pure Syrah.

Elegant blue and black fruit. Soft florals. Damp soil. A little short.

It's actually their Syrah. And yes, I realize it's 10:15 in the morning.

Firm 'meh' upon opening. Half a day of air later, drinking pretty solidly. Rich creamy blue. My previous note still holds true, this needs a long decant.
