2015 Copain Syrah Baker Ranch

Copain's 2015 Syrah Baker Ranch is deep, pungent and very savory, with a lot of whole cluster influence from the 100% stem inclusion. There is good aromatic intensity, but readers should expect a somewhat compact, austere style, especially on the mid-palate, where the wine is presently very shut down. It will be interesting to see if time helps the 2015 find a bit more generosity. Rose petal, white pepper, chalk and bright red fruit are all nicely delineated.
