Copain Wines

You will find this winery on a hilltop with a view that overlooks the Russian River Valley. Tastings are by appointment only and is $20 per person. So be sure to call and set up a time to taste some exquisite wines. Copain produces some knocking Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Syrah. The grapes are sourced from mostly Anderson Valley AVA, Yorkville Highlands AVA and Chalone AVA. Though the wines were great as well as the experience helped made by the wine guide who poured for me. I was a little disappointed not to have tasted any wines from there Russian River Valley vineyard that virtually surrounds the winery and tasting room. When I asked the only staff person available what varietal(s) are grown on the property I could not get back a clear answer. Besides that snafu the gentleman that poured for me was very knowledgeable and knew his wines.
