Hailing from the steep slopes of Northern Rhône, the 2019 Jean-Luc Colombo Cornas Les Ruchets is a testament to the unique terroir of its origin. This wine, graced with a score of 92 from Wine and Spirits, showcases an intriguing dance of dark fruit flavors, underscored by whispers of peppery spice and an earthy minerality. The well-structured palate unveils layers of blackberry and plum, interlaced with hints of olive and licorice, offering a complex yet harmonious experience. Its bold profile makes it an ideal companion for robust dishes, particularly a succulent lamb roast or a hearty beef stew. Despite its distinguished quality, it doesn’t command an exorbitant price, making it a smart buy for those seeking an exceptional Rhône Syrah.
