Appropriate to this wine's name, a vein of singed earth trails from nose to finish, mingling into delicate notes of vanilla, anise and black pepper. Penetrating flavors of preserved black cherry and plum are plump but fresh, edged by lifted acidity and fine, persistent tannins. More approachable in youth than Colombo's other 2017 Cornas, it can be enjoyed now through 2035. (Editors' Choice) ... More details

Solidly built, with a cedar and alder frame inlaid along the edges of the pure plum and cassis core, while hints of bay leaf, olive and sweet tobacco unwind slowly through the finish. A late flicker of iron keeps this grounded. Best from 2021 through 2037. 1,400 cases made, 850 cases imported.

Dark violet. Intense cherry and dark berry preserve aromas are complemented by hints of cracked pepper, pungent flowers and baking spices. Juicy and energetic on the palate, offering pliant bitter cherry, blueberry, violet pastille and spicecake flavors that deepen and turn sweeter on the back half. Supple tannins build on a long, spice-tinged finish that leaves behind dark chocolate and candied violet flourishes.
Winery
A deep ruby-black color with purple hints. On the nose, 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.

Varietal: Syrah

Whilst there remains plenty of debate over which is the 'correct' name for the Shiraz/Syrah grape varietal, nobody is in any doubt about the influence and popularity this grape has had over recent decades. For centuries, this varietal has been used in single variety and blended wines in the regions of France it is most closely associated with, yet the 20th century saw it become one of the definitive grape varietals of New World red wines, where its big, robust character and spicy, berry-rich flavors proved to be a hit with international audiences. Today, Shiraz/Syrah is said to be the seventh most widely planted grape varietal in the world, and is used for a remarkably wide variety of quality red wines – including still, sparkling and fortified varieties.

Region: Rhone Valley

The Rhone Valley of southern France is a particularly fascinating wine region, with a history that stretches back to at least six hundred BCE, when the ancient Greeks first began cultivating vines there. The region itself is split into two distinct sub-regions, with the northern sub-region being famed for its production of exceptional Syrah, Marsanne, Roussane and Viognier wines, packed full of interesting character and expressing the terroir found there. The southern sub-region is home to an enormous variety of grapes, and produces red, white and rosé wines, and some of the world's most famous and adored blended wines. The continental climate of the region is ideal for growing grapes, and the winds which blow from the Central Massif help temper the heat in the vineyards, leading to very ripe fruits holding plenty of flavor.

Country: France

Year in, year out, France enjoys its prestigious reputation as the producer of the finest wines in the world. With a wine making history which spans several thousand years and owes its expertise to the Romans, it comes as little surprise that this most highly esteemed of the Old World wine countries continues to impress and enchant both novices and experts to this day. Despite the rise in quality of wines from neighboring European countries, not to mention the New World, the French wine industry continues to boom, with up to eight billion bottles being produced in recent years. However, France prides itself on always putting quality before quantity, and the wide range in fine produce is a testament to the dedication and knowledge of the wineries across the country. Indeed, from rich and complex reds to light and aromatic white wines, French wines are as varied and interesting as they are enjoyable to drink, making this country a firm favorite for wine lovers across the globe.
