DupuisAndersonValleyWendlingPinotNoir

Created by the visionary Wells Guthrie, the founder of Copain Wines, this expressive Pinot hails from the North Coast region of Anderson Valley, one of California’s greatest regions for Pinot Noir. 95/100, Editor’s Choice – Subtle yet structured, this medium- bodied wine comes from the second vintage of Wells Guthrie’s new winery DuPuis in Anderson Valley. It seems restrained and mineral-ish at first sniff, then opens up on the palate to offer captivating plum, raspberry and black-tea flavors wrapped in moderate fine-grained tannins. Light oak notes of ginger and toast accent the creamy, fruity center. – Jim Gordon, Wine Enthusiast
