copain wines 'les voisins' anderson valley pinot noir

Winery Notes The Les Voisins, French for “the neighbors,” wines are derived from closely clustered, neighboring vineyards, offering a nuanced and tightly focused reflection of Anderson Valley and Yorkville Highlands. This red wine offers a plush, yet dense palate that is very approachable while showing layer upon layer of complexity with each swirl of the glass. This red wine is the perfect introduction to new Pinot Noir fans, and will also please the most critical fans of classic Burgundy. Tasting Notes This red wine has aromas of black cherry, anise, and tea leaves. On the palate, notes of raspberry and red currants are met with earth and vanilla. A lasting finish balances the silky texture. Vineyard Notes Copain, meaning ‘friend’ or ‘buddy’ in French, embodies our philosophy that wine enhances the good things in life, and is an experience best shared with friends and family. Perched on a hillside overlooking the bucolic Russian River Valley, Copain specializes in vineyard designate Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Syrah. Founded in 1999, Copain has built a reputation of producing food friendly, balanced and expressive wines in the ‘light-and-bright’ style. Sourced from sustainable vineyard sites in Anderson Valley, Mendocino County and Monterey County, the portfolio consists of three distinct collections—the Tous Ensemble wines, the Les Voisins wines, and the single vineyard designate wines. Our style has long been inspired by the restrained and elegant wines of France’s Rhône Valley. The grapes are picked early to impart vibrant acidity, and the wine undergoes minimum manipulation in the cellar. Coaxing lively, energetic wines with bright, fresh flavors has become Copain’s signature.
