Guillaume Gilles Cornas Syrah 2018
Gillesand#39; lovely wines from Cornas have been a serious revelation for us over the past few vintages and he has quickly become one of our favorite producers in the Northern Rhone. He studied under the legendary Robert Michel and now works Micheland#39;s top parcel in the Chaillotandnbsp;vineyard and makes his wines in Micheland#39;s old cellars. Though he does not list it on his label, this wine, his top cuvandeacute;e, is all from Chaillot, a blend of parcels from throughout the vineyard. His methods in the cellar are staunchly traditional, but the wines themselves are as vibrant and energetic as Cornasandnbsp;comes.

Smokey, floral, complex notes of fresh hickory chips, prickly purple fruit, licorice, oregano and savory. Pure pure violet. Really silky, tart and subtly massive on the palate, which is also gracefully light from the acids and has the perfect hint of sweetness. Classically balanced. Amazing floral and mineral presence, with fruit in attendance but taking a back seat. Another really great vintage and gem of a wine from Gilles.
