The 2018 Copain 'Tous Ensemble' Pinot Noir is an elegant cool-climate Pinot Noir sourced from carefully selected vineyards across California's Sonoma Coast. Crafted in Copain's signature restrained style, the wine reflects the region's maritime influence, with gentle handling and judicious oak allowing purity and freshness to shine. The nose is bright and inviting, revealing pomegranate, wild strawberry and Bing cherry layered with rose petals, subtle vanilla and earthy spice.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with silky tannins, lively acidity and a vibrant core of red berry fruit. Flavours of cherry, raspberry and red plum are complemented by hints of forest floor and delicate oak, leading to a long, balanced finish with impressive finesse. Fresh, refined and effortlessly drinkable, it is a beautifully balanced Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir with both immediate appeal and the ability to develop further in bottle.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2018 Copain 'Tous Ensemble' Pinot Noir pairs beautifully with roast duck, grilled salmon, mushroom risotto, herb-roasted chicken or soft-ripened cheeses. Enjoy now, or cellar through 2028 for added savoury complexity while retaining its vibrant fruit and elegant structure.
