Cornas Clape 2015 is a Syrah red wine from the Northern Rhône Valley. The vines are grown on the vertiginous, granite-sloped terraces of the Cornas appellation, which are notoriously difficult to work. This banner 2015 vintage presents a profound nose of dark berries, blood orange, crushed black pepper and graphite. The palate is rugged and powerful, with dense, chewy tannins and a deep, mineral resonance that is the hallmark of the Clape estate’s traditional, no-compromise winemaking style.

Clape’s flagship 2015 Cornas is enormously complex and compelling. Almond skin, cherries, blood and herbal notes all combine on the nose, while on the palate this medium to full-bodied wine is firmly tannic but ripe and balanced, with a rich, velvety and nearly endless finish. - Joe Czerwinski

Dark purple. Deep-pitched, mineral-accented black and blue fruit liqueur, olive and floral pastille aromas develop peppery spice and cola notes with aeration. Sappy and deeply concentrated on the palate, offering boysenberry, cassis and fruitcake flavors that are sharpened by smoky mineral and cracked pepper flourishes. The mineral note drives the extremely long, energetic finish, and chewy tannins provide shape and solid grip.Josh Raynolds1st April 2018

Deep purple still. Decidedly tough finish. Definitely dry but overall quite transparent. Yes it`s northern Rhône Syrah and is quite concentrated but it’s certainly short on charm.
