Montes Alpha M "La Finca Estate" 2000
Apalta Valley, Santa Cruz, Valle del Colchagua, Valle del Rapel, Region del Valle Central, ChileMontes Alpha M is a blend of mostly cabernet sauvignon (80%) with merlot (10%) and equal parts (5%) cabernet franc and petite verdot sourced from old 100 year-old vines. It is all aged for 12 months in French Allier fine grained oak. Look for spicy, peppery, green bean, cedar, saddle leather and vanilla nose streaked with cassis and sandalwood. On the palate it is rich and concentrated with lots of smoky vanilla, cassis jam and spicy flavours with a milk chocolate, cedar finish. Very warm but balanced with drier, firm tannins. Bordelais styling but with fine intensity.Tasted: 30 October 2004Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| AB | $69.00 | 750ml | Fine Wine Boutiques |
