Jean-Luc Colombo, ‘Terres Brulées’ Cornas 2015

Region: Cornas, Rhone, France Varietal: 100% Syrah Tasting notes: A deep ruby-black with purple hints. Blackcurrant, dark cherries and blackberries, with spices, licorice and cocoa. A very rich mouthfeel with flavors of black fruit, jam, vanilla, spice and mineral notes. Beautiful black pepper and bay leaf notes throughout leading to a long and sumptuous finish. A show stopping wine, especially for fans of great Syrah like myself. This will be excellent with game, beef, lamb, barbecue foods, roasted pork and a variety of other hearty dishes. Producer: Innovation, passion and dedication are what drive Jean-Luc and Anne Colombo, whose contributions to Rhône Valley winemaking has remained unparalleled since 1984. Colombo’s innovative approach in the northern appellation of Cornas was nothing short of revolutionary; his expressive, character-driven wines have helped breath new life into this highly prestigious and acclaimed appellation.
