2020 Copain Chardonnay Sonoma Coast

Winemaker Notes: On the Nose, wet sand, poached pear, apple pie and a hint of custard. Green and gold in color the palate is fresh, medium plush and a backbone of fine tannin gives this wine texture and good posture. Explosive flavors of fresh tarragon, Greenstein apple, and pear make this wine a delight to drink in the near term or continue to improve in the cellar over the next 5 years.

2020 without a doubt will go down as one of the most storied vintages of all time. While navigating a global pandemic, many of the wine regions of the West Coast were devastated by the wildfires that threatened or destroyed the grape harvest. We were fortunate to have a harvest that was high quality and undamaged. If you take away the struggles, 2020 was a near perfect growing season.
