Copain . Wines . Pinot Noir . Dennison Vineyard

2001 Tasting Notes

As with all our vineyards, the worst frost in thirty years took its share of our fruit. Production was down nearly 40%, but the fruit quality was very high. In our opinion, the 35+ year old vines of the Dennison vineyard yet again, proved to make some intriguing wine. (120 cases produced)

The wine maintains the earthy, fresh mushroom quality we find appealing in this vineyard Subtle tea, cola and light toast add to the cherry and rhubarb flavors. The wine this vineyard produces is consistently very pure in its fruit profile and balanced well with its natural acidity.
