About Copain
Wells Guthrie’s story is the stuff of dreams. Formerly a tasting coordinator for Wine Spectator, he was determined to make his own wines and moved to France together with his wife, where he apprenticed under the great Michel Chapoutier for 2 years. Upon his return to California, he founded Copain Wines in 1999, choosing to focus on Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Syrah sourced from the cooler regions of Mendocino County, Anderson Valley and Sonoma Coast. As the former protégé of Chapoutier, it comes as little surprise that Guthrie’s wines draw inspiration from the Rhône Valley.

Vinous (95)The 2018 Syrah Hawkes Butte is once again one of the most distinctive wines in the range. Inky dark fruit, black pepper, sage, lavender and spice all run through this super-expressive Syrah. The 2018 is rich and unctuous but also not at all heavy. It is incredibly singular and full of character. |
