Black olives and crushed stone join with hints of leather to leave a firm, savory impression on the medium to full-bodied palate, while the velvety finish delivers ample texture and richness. Nicely done.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003eBased in Cornas, the Colombo family—headed by Jean-Luc, his wife Anne and increasingly assisted by their daughter Laure—reaches up and down the Rhône and beyond for their négociant bottlings. While I've found some of those efforts to be inconsistent over the years, there's no denying the passion for Cornas that comes through in those wines.
