Vintage Cellar Tasting - Montes Alpha

  • Montes Alpha
  • Syrah
  • D.O. Colchagua Valley
  • Chile
  • 2009
  • $7.95
  • Blackberry and cola aromas are cool and collected.  The palate has weight and texture to accompany berry, mint, herb, and peppery flavors.  Turns more herbal and roasted as it unwinds.  Pepper and spice lead the finish.
  • I could definitely smell the berries in this one was the description mentions, it was very fruity and fresh smelling.  This wine had a very deep, rich flavor that really sank into my taste buds.  There were more tannins than before, but not too much so.  This was definitely one of my favorites, but the price deterred me from purchasing it unfortunately.
  • No food with this one either.
