Copain "Madder Lake" Lake County Syrah 2006

Deep purple/red.

Blueberry/blackberry coulis, a slight stem note (?), earth and toasted oak on the nose.

Ripe, sweet blue/black fruit impression immediately buffered by strong acidity. Really plush in the mid-palate, with nice length. Acid (stem?) chew kicks in late to give a hard candy fruit feel.

Opened yesterday.

$25
