This bursts forth with a torrent of dark plum, boysenberry and blackberry preserve flavors. Vivid, racy and energetic throughout, with extra sweet bay leaf, violet and black olive elements chiming through repeatedly, while a mouthwatering chalky minerality courses underneath it all. Best from 2024 through 2038. 600 cases made, 115 cases imported.??–JM??Region: France / Northern Rh?ne / Cornas Select to Add

Gentle baking spices and cedar notes appear on the nose of the 2016 Cornas Cuvee Jana, balanced by black plum and blackberry fruit. Medium to full-bodied, it boasts plentiful but soft tannins, leaving a velvety texture behind on the long finish.

A bigger, richer wine, the 2015 Cornas Jana is a tiny-production cuvée and the flagship release for the estate. Completely destemmed and aged in older barrels, it offers a killer bouquet of graphite, crushed rocks, new saddle leather and layers of black raspberry and black cherry fruit. This full-bodied, concentrated, tannic effort is going to rival, if not surpass, the 2010.

This has a vibrant core of raspberry, blackberry and boysenberry fruit, backed by mouthwatering iron and white pepper notes, pulling together on the bay- and lavender-lined finish. Built on racy purity, with some sneaky power in reserve. Best from 2017 through 2027. 500 cases made, 50 cases imported.??–JM??Region: France / Northern Rh?ne / Cornas Select to Add

The two 2014 Cornas are both seriously good wines that are ideal for drinking while you wait on the 2015s to come around. Deeper and richer than the base Cornas, the 2014 Cornas Jana sports a saturated purple color as well as sensational notes of ripe blackcurrants, toasted spice, saddle leather and garrigue. Medium to full-bodied, broad, expansive and sexy on the palate, with ripe, building tannin and lots of graphite and minerality on the finish, this killer Cornas offers more pleasure than most. It will drink well for a decade.
