All of the great Domains that inspired us to make wine are fervent believers that great wine begins in the vineyard. As winemakers we are just custodians of that fruit allowing for the reflection of the site, varietal and vintage. In pursuit of this, Copain has sought out vineyards with expositions, soil compositions, climates, clones and rootstock selections capable of producing wines of distinction and singular character. The selected terroirs we source from are, in our belief, capable of expressing the truest varietal character interwoven with site characteristics and ultimately the vintage nuances. Further enhancing this expression is our belief in organic farming practices which allows the natural balance of flora and fauna inherent in each site to impact the developing vine, fruit and finally the wine.
Winemaking practices aim to express each sites unique qualities which thereby means a minimum of intervention. Overripe fruit, excessive physical and chemical manipulation of the must and over use Read more »

The first flight was '08 Copain and '09 Copain and Alturas. '08 being the year of the North Coast wildfires where so many wines were smoke tainted we were preparing for that here as well. Smoke taint occurs during flowering while the fruit is just beginning to set and that is the time of year that the fires burned out of control in Mendocino Cou... Read More

The wine was totally without any fruit characteristics and seemed dead. I don't believe it was corked as there was no wet newspaper odor or mustiness about the wine, yet it totally seemed...
