Tunnel, Cornas Vin Noir Vintage:2009 dried persimmon and dried mangoMade 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.
