Referring to the Spanish word for very finely decomposed granite soils, almost to the point of sand, the 2013 Cornas Les Arênes is an outstanding Cornas that makes the most of the vintage. Cassis, crushed rocks, bouquet garni and plenty of rocky minerality emerge from this medium-bodied, elegant, yet nicely concentrated 2013. It has fresh acids and fine tannin, and should drink nicely through 2023.
