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.

Johann Michel Cuvee Grain Noir is made from 100 percent Syrah
This is delicious. Expressive, deep, rich, silky and juicy.
Well structured and round, it displays red fruit, leather, black cherry, liquorice and black berry aromas.
This Cornas is a blend from 2 different vineyard sites:
- 60% of the final blend is coming from vineyards located on the hillside (16 year old vines on the "coteau") which is planted on sandy soils, decomposed granite and some roicks, giving the strucutre, the spiciness and the licorice type of flavors to the blend.
- the other 40% of the final blend is coming from the bottom of the slope (40 years old vines on the "pied de coteau") which is planted on sandy soils, bringing acidity and balance to the wine.
Manual harvest, selection of the grapes, 100% destemming, fermentation in tanks for 3 weeks, daily remontage and pigeage.
Malolactic fermentation in oak barrels and aging on the lees for 12-18 months in barrels (2 to 4 year old barrels)

Review:
The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Limited Release Cold Springs is the most distinctive of the wines in this range of limited-release Cabernets from Charles Krug. Gravel, licorice, menthol and spice all develop in a Howell Mountain Cabernet endowed with tremendous class and nuance.

The 2023 Sauvignon Blanc shows abundant aromas of Meyer lemon, passionfruit, and jasmine. In the mouth, the Semillon shows itself with a rich, deliciously textured palate with flavors of orange blossom, mandarin oranges, and a wet stone minerality
