Bright purple. Powerful black and blue fruit, tobacco and floral scents pick up olive and cracked pepper notes as the wine opens up. In a weighty, broad-shouldered style, offering appealingly sweet cherry and blueberry preserve flavors along with suggestions of spicecake, licorice and smoky bacon. Finishes very long and chewy, with just a hint of fine-grained tannins and resonating blue fruit and spice notes. ... More details

This is very peppery with a mix of black pepper and white pepper as well as dark berry fruits. Medium-bodied, firm and silky and fresh on the finish. Lively at the end.

Blackberries, ground pepper, cured meats, and ample olive and leathery notes all emerge from the 2016 Cornas Domaine De Saint Pierre. It’s a classic Cornas with its black, wild, gamey profile. Possessing medium body, a silky, elegant texture, good acidity, and a great finish, it's another outstanding wine from this team that can be drunk today or cellared for a decade.

Rated 91 by Wine Advocate
Always the last Jaboulet parcel to be harvested (it's at the top of the appellation), the 2016 Cornas Domaine de Saint Pierre accents meaty, plummy fruit with hints of crushed stone and pencil shavings. It's fresh, vibrant, even crisp, on the long, tart finish.
Wine Spectator
A fresh, floral style, with bright red currant and bitter cherry flavors, laced with violet and lilac notes. Displays purity to the fruit, accompanied by lingering olive and chalk hints, but this is a touch shy on depth in the end. Best from 2020 through 2028. 75 cases made, 25 cases imported.

Varietal: Syrah

There are few red wine grape varietals in the world quite as versatile as that of the Shiraz/Syrah vine. These powerful darkly colored grapes are responsible for several wildly popular wines, and are used in the production of still, fortified and sparkling wines, all which carry its magnificent strong flavors very well indeed. This grape varietal is a robust one, easily adaptable to several different climates and terroirs, and yet has a strong ability to express the conditions it is grown in when it ferments and is drank. Most typically, Shiraz/Syrah wines are known for spicy flavors with a big fruity punch, and the fact that they can demonstrate the decisions made by the winemakers in their secondary flavors very clearly.

Region: Rhone Valley

For over two thousand years, the southern French region of the Rhone Valley has been home to wine-makers and wineries of many different types. The ancient Greeks were the first to discover that a wide range of grape varietals can flourish in the rich soils and micro-climates which typify the region, and little has changed to this day. In the modern age, the Rhone Valley is recognized around the world as the home of excellent quality white, red and rosé wines, as well as some of the most highly respected blended wines on earth. The region is split into two distinctive sub-regions, with the cooler, continental northern sub-region producing primarily Syrah, Marsanne, Roussane and Viognier wines of exquisite quality, and the hotter southern sub-region growing a much wider variety of grapes.

Country: France

It is widely understood and accepted that the finest wines in the world come out of France. Whether you are drinking a vintage bottle from one of the famed Grand Cru wineries of Bordeaux - such as Chateau Margaux or Chateau Lafite-Rothschild - or a more simple and affordable bottle from one of the lesser known appellations in Burgundy, the likelihood is that the wine is packed full of intense and interesting flavors, and has a fine, balanced structure typical of almost all French produce. This reputation for excellence is taken extremely serious by the French, with dozens of regularly updated laws and regulations ensuring the quality and accurate labeling of wines. Such dedication and passion for fine wine, representative of the region in which it is produced, means customers can be assured that when they buy a bottle from France, they are buying something almost certain to please and delight.
