Copain 2006 Hacienda Secoya, Pinot Noir (Anderson Valley)

Light red.

Earth/clay, aromatic spices and red fruit nose. Nice lift.

Round, mouthfilling with a touch of sweetness in the mouth. But currently falls short in the mouth. Stem inclusion adds some attractive spice action, and there is nice length of flavor. Attractive, delineated, middle-weight Pinot. Still, this is one occasion where later picking might have been in order. We'll see...

13.2% alcohol

Day 3 - More depth on the nose. A great deal more, actually, almost sumptuous. Better flow and depth in the mouth too. Sommeliers will love this, but lacks an extra dimension.

$40
