Clos Culombu Rouge 2016 Review

Deep ruby-purple in the glass, this Corsican blend combines lively, plummy fruit with wild aromas of wildflowers, pink peppercorn, copper, and garrigue. While bigger and more tannic on the palate, bright acidity keeps the wine tart and refreshing, with a crunchy, spicy herbal finish.
