2007 Copain Syrah Brosseau Vineyard

(13% alcohol) Inky ruby. Smoky dark berries and dried violet on the nose. Energetic red and dark berry aromas are complemented by smoky minerality and black olive. Silky tannins add structure to the sweet black raspberry and cassis flavors, which gain sweetness and depth with air. The smoky note repeats on the long, sappy finish.
