Tasting notes
The 2019 La Cumbre was produced with 96% Syrah and 4% Viognier, co-fermenting the two grapes in the style of Côte-Rôtie. It has varietal notes of meat, blackcurrant and a smoky touch, also floral. 2019 was only moderately warm, and the wine achieved 14% alcohol. They used larger foudres for the élevage, which I think is a good thing for the variety. It's juicy and fresh and nicely textured. Good typicity. 6,700 bottles were filled in January 2021.
