Terres Brulées Cornas Syrah
Meat, olive, dark cherry,peppercorn, great lift of acidity. Perfect with grilled elk, mild mushroom and lingonberry sauce!

Mar 2nd, 2016Medium purple color with a wide rim and light violet core. A really fragrant, fruity nose of raspberry, bing cherry, fresh cocoa, and a bit of vanilla. Beautiful Cornas fruit here, it really is something special. Rich and round in the mouth, this is pure rustic goodness. These Rhône wines are ones I could drink everyday and this fits the bill. Medium bodied but still hefty and substantial. Stone minerality, truffles, and spice box steal the show on the palate. This is a lively and really fun Cornas that doesn’t take itself too seriously.

Aug 31st, 2019Raisins and licorice evolved over an hour into a damn decent wine. Not quite as good as I remembered, but solid nonetheless.

Apr 2nd, 2018Fantastic! Drank it at cellar temp and it was gone before it had a chance to spread its wings. Quickly working its way up my list. Try to find it, you won't be disappointed.
