Wine from Cornas
Filter
Cornas – French wine region (approx. 110 hectares) located in the Northern Rhone Valley. The word “Cornas” means “burnt land” in old French dialect. The Cornas region experiences many hours of sunshine, in particular, the area just northwest of the village boasts vertical granite slopes of sun-soaked land shielded from the North winds that are known to sweep over the Valley. The granite acts as an efficient heat retainer, provides low drainage, and offers extremely low fertility. This causes the vines to create deep and sturdy root systems. The Cornas region is known for rich red wine making and viticulture with the primary grape variety being Syrah. The Cornas wine offers robust flavor paired with graceful tannin. Cornas wines are not priced as high as the typical Rhone Valley production, which is a huge advantage to the consumer. Cornas offers the opportunity to purchase high quality wines with the typical style of the Rhone Valley without the expensive price tag. The Cornas region draws similarity to Hermitage, and produces a comparable wine almost as elegant.

Tasting notes: A brand new wine from this tremendous vineyard, The Sokol Blosser Kalita Vineyard 2021 Estate Pinot Noir bursts with classic Yamhill-Carlton dark-fruit notes, including black cherry, cranberry, and blackberry. Warm spices, espresso, and woodsy forest floor are backed up with grippy tannins to balance the fruit.
Antica Vigna Valpolicella Ripasso DOC Superiore is made from 50% Corvina, 45% Rondinella and 5% Merlot.
Ripasso Superiore DOC is an elegant and refined wine, showing a beautiful and intense ruby color. Spicy, with cherry hints and wild berries notes, it features great personality and complexity. In the palate it is rich, very fruity, elegant and still young but already very well-orchestrated, with the typical notes of wild berries that blend well with the complexity of the wine.
