Tunnel, Cornas Vin Noir Vintage:2009 let me at least note

let me at least note that Soter’s employment of old heirloom selections he brought with him from California (and that long informed special bottlings under his Etude label) has without question been instrumental in the delicious distinctiveness of his Mineral Ridge bottlings

elegant frame for the richly expressive flavor range

dried persimmon and dried mango notes ripple along

so faintly weak

It s utterly seamless on the palate

Tunnel, Cornas Vin Noir Vintage:2009 let me at least noteMade in what some might call a modern (i. e., oak inflected) style, Robert's 2016 Cornas Vin Noir features aromas of blueberries, roasted meat and baking spices. Full bodied, supple and rich, it finishes velvety, with tremendous length. It's a blend of old vines from three parcels, aged 14 months in four year old barrels.
