Copain Day Break White Blend 2024
Copain Winery is a producer in California, making wines from Pinot Noir and Syrah in a more restrained style than is sometimes associated with California's warmer climate production.
Owner and winemaker Wells Guthrie purchases fruit from several locations in the Anderson Valley and Yorkville Highlands. He fell in love with wines from the Rhône while working in Wine Spectator's San Francisco office, and moved to the Rhône to work with Michel Chapoutier for two years.
Copain was established by winemaker Wells Guthrie and Kevin McQuown in 1999 and became know for Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Syrah. Copain Wines was purchased by Jackson Family Wines in 2016, but the emphasis remains on varietal wines. Whenever a small winery is purchased be a bigger entity I can’t help but wonder if the charm of that small winery will be lost. But in the case of Jackson Family Wines (JFW), they bring a whole lot of commitment to sustainability and climate action. Their Rooted For Good initiative includes five facets: social responsibility, climate action, land conservation and farming, water management and global leadership through action. And Jackson Family Wines is a founding member of International Wineries for Climate Action.
