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 »
Wow. We got a good deal because our wine merchant wanted to share the experience. This is a beautiful syrah. Oddly enough it reminded me of marionberry, with its fruit and richness.

Opened a 2007 Copain Kiser "En Bas" Pinot Noir to pair with the seared duck breast I made for Valentines dinner. Sniifed the cork and thought uh oh. Poured a splash and confirmed yep, corked. Luckly I had a back-up that was intact. Black cherry and blueberry with a tart a fairly, for a Pinot, tannic finish. No rush to drink these as they are jus... Read More

Dear Wells, I recently purchased the 2008 Gary's Syrah along with other wines. I opened the bottle last week and was unpleasantly surprized at the results. 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...
