12% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot aged 22 months in 100% new French oak

full-bodied and uncommonly sexy and textured in the vintage

dried persimmon and dried mango notes ripple along

Tunnel, Cornas Vin Noir Vintage:2009 12% Cabernet Franc and 4%Made 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.
