The 2021 La Côte’s pugnacious power is evident even on the nose, which declares its arrival with simmering, intense aromas of those tiny but flavor-packed blueberries and red currants you only find in the wild, along with notes of black tea and dried hibiscus flower. All of these impressions are confirmed on the tongue, which instantly recognizes the wine’s immense structural power, densely packed flavors, and compactly bundled tannins. Organic
