Tasting Notes

87-89
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Jan 99
Good deep ruby-red. Raspberry, smoke and game on the nose. Fat and sweet in the mouth, with tangy raspberry and spice flavors. Fruity and forthcoming. Finishes with tongue-dusting but ripe and even tannins.

Cornas Vineyard Fine Wine

Cornas

Cornas, a prestigious Northern Rhône appellation, is famous for bold, robust Syrah wines. Grown on steep, sun-drenched slopes, these wines are known for their intensity and depth, featuring flavours of dark berries, black pepper, smoked meat, and earthy notes, with strong tannins and excellent ageing potential. Cornas focuses exclusively on 100% Syrah, with granite soils adding to its complexity. Top producers include Domaine Auguste Clape, Thierry Allemand, and Domaine Alain Voge, all celebrated for expressing Cornas's unique terroir.
