Robert Parker Wine Advocate Joe Czerwinski - 29 Dec 17
The 2015 Cornas Harmonie is nearly approachable already. It's full-bodied and concentrated, with pure cassis fruit flavors and supple tannins that linger on the softly dusty finish. No, it's not the most complex example of Cornas, but it's a fine effort, and unlike many of the 2015s, likely will be consumed on the young side.

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.
