2005 Copain Thompson Vineyard Syrah
The aroma had really nice caramel and baked cherries. I love that combination and with Copain's wines, it can be pegged. Elegant rich mouthfeel with tastes of black cherry, crushed dark fruit, mineral and a little orange. The wine had a refined and strong long finish. Enjoyable now - 5 years peak easy and the best California Syrah I have had this year. These are hard to lay off and I have held a few back

This might be my favorite 2005 Syrah from Copain and one of my top 10's of that vintage. Great Syrah is being made by many rhone style wine producers like Pax, Outpost and some others. Some California winemakers are really cranking out some amazing Syrah and they are delicious to taste and write review notes for. Copain is wonderfully consistant, without breaking the bank. This wine is around $40 I believe. This one of many single vineyard specialty Copain Syrahs. 2005 was a strong vintage, as was 2004.

This is a producer that offers most of their wine through their mailing list customers. Creating a connection to a few of my favorite producers by way of their direct offerings gives access to their best wines.
This article I wrote a few years ago talks about the advantages of not only mailing list wine buying but buying through Internet retailers and auction site.
