Clape Cornas 2006 is a full-bodied Syrah red wine from the northern Rhône Valley of France. Domaine Auguste Clape is a distinguished wine estate situated in the Cornas appellation. The estate spans eight hectares of vines strategically positioned on sun-drenched, steeply terraced vineyards along the Rhône`s western banks. Taking calculated risks with the weather, the grapes are harvested at the optimum moment of ripeness. Auguste Clape`s Cornas wines are celebrated for their poised and refined character. Aged for two years in concrete vats and old casks, these wines are crafted for long-term ageing. "The 2006 Cornas from Clape is still youthful and lively, and shows classic notes of dark fruits (blackberries, currants), spiced meats and cedary herbs in a beautifully concentrated, medium to full-bodied, ripe and textured package that plays perfectly into the style of the vintage. You can still feel the tannin, yet they`re ripe and sweet, and there`s ample fruit, texture and length. This beauty is a classic Cornas that will drink well for another 10-15 years or more." Wine Advocate, 2017

Vinous
Saturated ruby. Deep, youthfully brooding aromas of cassis, cherry compote, plum, olive tapenade, roasted coffee and burning incense. Dense and sappy in the mouth, displaying sweet black raspberry and cherry pit qualities, with chewy tannins adding grip and gaining power with air. Really takes over the palate, eventually finishing with superb sweet length and a bitter cherry bite.
