Cave de Tain l'Hermitage
Arénes Sauvages Cornas Syrah
Cornas, Northern Rhône, Rhône, France
Popped and double decanted to remove sediment (there’s quite a bit). Deeply fruity nose. Loads of dark berries, with deep cracked stone minerals. A bit of cured meat. The palate is much more savory than the nose. Liquid rock leads, but some crisp, dark berry fruit. Surprisingly nice acids. A fair amount of soft tannin. Long, clingy finish. Drinking very nicely now. Might be solid for a few more years, though I’m not sure it will improve much from here. Another really good wine from this top notch co-op.

Aug 23rd, 2025Excellent ripeness, first signs of maturation. Dark fruit moccha tones of peppery Syrah and firm but ripe tannins. Smooth for Cornas 90p.

Love North Rhone Syrah.
Pure game with a little smoke, white pepper and bright fruit. I have a total bias for this style of wine.
