Wine of the Week: The Beautiful Wines of Copain Cellars   Copain Wine Cellars is perched on a hill overlooking the serenely beautiful Russian River Valley. Because they believe that wine should be a tangible reflection of where it comes from, they select their vineyards with great care and deliberation, and make wines that have a true sense of place. Winemaker Wells Guthrie discovered early on that his taste in wine gravitated toward Europe in general and France's Rhone Valley in particular. So much so, that he picked up and moved to the region to learn from the best. For two years, Wells was deeply inspired by the traditions and practices of French winemaking. At Copain, he creates wines that are firmly rooted in California, yet with the sensibilities of the European wines that so moved him.  The wines of the week are three of our favorites from the Copain Wine Cellars collection. Wines of the Week     Pinot Noir "Tous Ensemble," Copain 2007 -$35 This wine displays sour cherry, black tea and subtle spice aromas on the nose and a palate with bright acidity, smooth and talc-like tannins with a very long and lingering finish. Pinot Noir "Les Voisins," Copain 2009 -$52 Exhibiting the depth and complexity of the 'Deep End' of the Anderson Valley, this blend of three neighboring Pinot Noir vineyards sings with bright acidity, light floral aromatics and sumptuous red fruits. Syrah "Les Voisins," Copain 2009 -$48 A blend of three exceptional vineyards situated on the same slope of rocky terrain, this Syrah has a mix of floral notes, graphite, spice, and pure black fruits.
