OLD WORLD?
NEW WORLD?
IT’S DISTINCTLY PASO.
There is a very specific type of satisfaction that one has when it comes to pride in one’s children. It’s a faraway look of fulfillment, perhaps a bit restrained in its desire to be humble. In the case of Copia’s Willow Creek Estate, our children are 38,300 vines, raised to meet the world in 2021. You just can’t help letting a bit of that unadulterated joy escape out into the world. You know that what you helped to create is something so very special. First crops are like first children: They represent new beginnings, hopes, and dreams.
The pure happiness that arises from being able to present wines crafted from our inaugural estate harvest is boundless. It was an impressive season culminating with the first fruit being picked on September 8, 2021. This is the very land where infant vines were placed in the ground by our Sahi Family elders and it is the land that feeds this passion to make singular wines of site. The previous years of tireless work in developing this special vineyard showed in fruit quality. Berries were small and concentrated, while overall yields were tapered. 2021 is a vintage for the books for Copia. Just over two weeks ago, we received our highest overall critical ratings to date.
As with all wines, we can draw comparisons to our predecessors – the great winemakers of great wine regions of the world steeped in rich history and tradition. With the first reviews on these wines, the critic Jeb Dunnuck certainly paid us the ultimate compliment for 2021 The Story Grenache: “It will compete with some of the top Chateauneuf du Papes out there.” But, what really strikes us is the reason why we chose to take root here above any other place. Paso Robles is where we call home. Paso has the largest calcareous-based soil formation and the largest diurnal temperature change in all of California, contributing to amazing concentration in our fruit and ability to retain acidity. These factors are only part of the reason we’re here. But the true factor that makes this wine special is the beautiful community of people that have lifted us up and supported us throughout our journey. Winemakers, team members, restaurateurs, friends, and most importantly, you, our members. This is what makes the wine that you enjoy distinctly Paso Robles.
Thank you for your support of our journey and we hope you enjoy the stories within every Copia bottle as you write a few of your own.
With gratitude,
Anita and Varinder, Sarah and the Copia Team

A Bittersweet Moment in Time
Dear Copia Family,
Change is upon us! The photo of those young “kids” above was in May of 2019. It was taken the first day that Copia Vineyards opened the doors in downtown Paso Robles. We are writing today to let you know that we are completely moving to our new location. The Copia Vineyards Adelaida District Estate at 5076 Mustard Creek Road in Paso Robles will be your home for all tasting experiences.
We want to take a moment to reflect back on those early days when you all were just learning about us. Words alone will never express our gratitude for all of the support throughout the years from you, our members, friends, neighbors and locals. Downtown Paso Robles is where it all started for us and we will cherish our memories from 13th Street.
It’s bittersweet to move on from downtown after 4.5 years. With that said we are so very excited to turn the page and welcome you to the new tasting room, winery and vineyard-in-development.
