Item Description
This wine is another project from the Perrin family, owners of Beaucastel, Chateau Miraval, …, La Vieille Ferme.
One of two cuvees of Vinsobres, the 2011 Vinsobres Les Cornuds is a blend of equal parts Grenache and Syrah. Keep in mind, the Perrins now own 125 acres in Vinsobres. This wine, grown in a vineyard at 400 meters altitude, is deep, rich, full-bodied, with loads of tannin and rather tart acids, but that gives the wine more precision and freshness. It is a blockbuster wine.
According to Robert Parker - More serious and endowed with more muscle and richness is the 2011 Perrin Vinsobres Les Cornuds. This wine comes from the very cool northern sector of the Cotes du Rhone appellation, which is a treasure trove for Syrah. The Perrins vinify the Syrah in truncated tanks and then age it in barrel, while the Grenache is fermented and aged in stainless steel, with blending taking place after six months. This beautiful 2011 displays plenty of black cherry fruit and lavender as well as hints of blackberry, licorice and graphite. Medium-bodied, richly fruity and offering loads of perfume, this is a wine to drink over the next several years.
