La Cumbre represents Viña Errázuriz’s pioneering spirit when it introduced the Syrah variety to Chile in 1993. Aged for 22 months in French oak barrels, 60% new and 15% Stockinger foudres, it is 96% Syrah and 4% Viognier
JAMES SUCKLING, 99 POINTS: “Great aromas of dried strawberries and fresh flowers, such as lavender. Full-bodied yet very tight and focused. Impressive tannic structure, but refined and polished. Lightly chewy. Finishes tight and refined. Best pinot of Chile. Drink after 2022, but hard to hold back.”
“Las Pizarras Pinot Noir 2019 displays a limpid ruby-red colour with beautiful violet highlights. It owns a complex nose reminiscent of rosehip, murtilla (Chilean guava), truffle, mushroom, sour cherries and a refreshing spicy tone, accompanied by soft pastries and dried fruit notes.

Wine Safari score: 95/100 Greg Sherwood MW: I approached this new wine with a little trepidation as I know all too well from previous experience that Ian Naude’s wines always need a few years in bottle to settle in and really start to fan their peacock tail.
