The 2016 Pinot Noir Les Voisins is soft, plummy and inviting. Sweet floral and spice notes add shades of nuance to a core of succulent red cherry/plum fruit in this pliant, mid-weight Pinot from Copain.

Leading off the Pinot Noirs, the 2016 Les Voisins saw a malo in barrel followed by aging in 19% new French oak. This light ruby-colored effort has a terrific perfume of spiced cherries, dried flowers, and wild strawberries. It's fresh, lively, medium-bodied, and elegant on the palate, with a charming, albeit slightly short style. Nevertheless, I love its complexity and balance.
