2011 Copain Pinot Noir Kiser En Haut
UNITED STATES / CALIFORNIA / MENDOCINO
International Wine Cellar | Rating: 90
Dark red. Powerful spice-accented aromas of black raspberry, floral pastilles and licorice, with a bright mineral overtone. Then livelier in the mouth, offering tangy blackberry and bitter cherry flavors that put on weight with air. Structured, focused pinot with strong finishing punch, chewy tannins and a late jolt of peppery spices adding bite.Author: Josh RaynoldsIssue: May/June 2014
