Raised in 50% new oak, the 2013 Cornas Arenes Sauvages offers notes of graphite, roasted spice and mulled raspberries in its medium to full-bodied, nicely concentrated, classic Cornas style. A lot of vignerons really like 2013 in Cornas, and while the wines don’t have a huge back-end level of depth, they have nicely focused, classic and mineral-driven styles that really show the terroir. Enjoy this outstanding Cornas anytime over the coming 8-10 years.
