Domaine Rostaing Cote-Rotie 'Viaillere' 2019

René Rostaing has been producing high-quality wines in the Northern Rhone for over 25 years. The property is comprised of 14 lieux-dits, with vines ranging in age from 60-100 years. ‘Vialliere’ is destemmed and aged in large oak barrels for 18-22 months, bottled unfiltered; 2016 shows notes of jammy red fruits, with notes of graphite & herbs. Muscular backbone and firm tannins make this bottle insanely cellar-worthy; open in 15 years.
