"Errazuriz is one of the first Chilean estates to experiment with Syrah, Cumbre, "Summit" in the Mapuche language, comes from the heights of the valley, in very limited quantities!"
"Errázuriz was one of the first wineries in Chile to experiment with Syrah. That was in the early 1990s, and it's come a long way since then. The first vintage of La Cumbre, his most ambitious Syrah, was produced in 2001. It, too, has come a long way in recent years, from thicker, riper versions to vintages like this one, which, despite being produced in a very hot year, shows brilliantly fresh red fruit, and the earlier harvests that the winery team has chosen over the past five years have had a lot to do with it. This has resulted in greater vivacity in all the wines in general, and this one in particular also has firmer tannins that help underpin the wine on the palate and give it structure in addition to its refreshing, flavorful fruit." (Descorchados - Patricio Tapia 2022)

About the wine:
La Cumbre 2019 was produced with 96% Syrah and 4% Viognier, co-fermenting the two varietals in the style of Côte-Rôtie. It presents varietal notes of meat, blackcurrant and a smoky, also floral, touch. 2019 was only moderately warm, and the wine reached 14% alcohol. They used larger foudres for aging, which I think is a good thing for the grape variety. The wine is juicy, fresh and nicely textured. Good typicity. 2022-2029

About the wine:
Lots of tar and berries with dried meat. Full- to medium-bodied, with integrated tannins and a subtle, savory finish. Drink now.

About the wine:
"Our best Syrah in terms of varietal personality" is how Francisco Baettig describes this Syrah, and I agree with him. Fleshy and herbaceous, with notes of garrigue spices and black olive, fine tannins and a little more perfume and complexity thanks to the 4% viognier. 2023-2030
