2004 Copain Syrah Madder Lake
Written By: Michael Zimberg on Tuesday, May 13, 2008
Lovely velvet purple. Crushed berries, earth and slate soar from the glass. Classy and large scaled, but not very California. Pure and ripe. Yummy. If the tannis mellow it may merit an A- rating. With Bouchon Chicken.

Michael Zimberg has intuition when it comes to wine. Somehow, some way, he is able to spot the best deals and the best food and wine pairings. Mikey's wife, Jill, attributes it to a naturally well-defined sense of taste and smell, combined with a healthy dose of experience. Whatever it is, his reviews shouldn't be missed.
