Description

Montes 2016 Alpha Cab Sauv Valle del Colchagua
90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot | Alc: 14.5%
Colchagua Valley, Rapel Valley, Chile

Winemaker’s notes:
Deep, intense violet-red color. Aromas of figs and blackberries, are accompanied by notes of crème de cassis and spicy black pepper above a backdrop of tobacco. The palate is well balanced and has generous volume, rich acidity, and very round tannins that lend structure to a long, elegant finish.

Critical Acclaim:
“What we saved in 2016 was good,” says Aurelio Montes Junior, and this Cabernet from Apalta and Marchigüe proves his point. Bright, minty and well structured, it handles its 30% new wood easily, finishing with the freshness of a cooler year. 2021-30.” 92 Pts – Tim Atkin
