CORNAS, FRANCE

Big and bold are just a few ways to describe this French Syrah. Boosting an extraordinary black/purple color as well as a remarkable perfume of spring flowers, crushed rocks, lead pencil shavings, blueberry and blackberry liqueur, licorice and truffles. Deep, full-bodied, tannic and backward with everything perfectly integrated into its personality, this is a monumental Northern Rhone. Give it several years of bottle age and drink it over the following 25-30+ years.”

Food Pairings: Duck breast, lamb chops, filet mignon.
