The word L'inizio means "the beginning" and it's appropriate that it's the first wine I ever tried from
Cooper. I've since tried several of their wines and am consistently impressed with the quality and style of these wines. Located as you are turning into the
Red Mountain AVA - Cooper is a stones throw from the famed Ciel du Cheval vineyard. Many of the grapes that make the best wines in Washington State come from this region.
This wine is a classic Bordeaux blend with grapes coming from nine area vineyards and includes four varietals. Charlie Hoppes is the winemaker - he also makes wine for one of our favorites -

The wine has a spicy note and probably should've been laid down for a bit longer to help ease the tannins.
Overall, it is a great drinking wine.
Julie's take : "It's good"
Thank You for the kind words. Cheers to your next visit. -coop
