Domaine Auguste Clape "Renaissance" Cornas

Varietal(s): Syrah

Well worth seeking out, and despite being the entry level Cornas for this family, it tastes like most estates’ top releases. Beautiful red and blue fruits, bouquet garni, iron, and peppery notes give way to a medium to full-bodied, pure, seamless Cornas that should benefit from just short-term cellaring and have 15 years or more of prime drinking.
