Montes Alpha Cabernet Sauvignon 2013
Apalta Valley, Santa Cruz, Valle del Colchagua, Valle del Rapel, Region del Valle Central, ChileDense and full, with charred meats, charcoal and campfire leading this full-bodied dry-farmed cabernet from Colchagua. Potent black fruit, pipe tobacco and wood blanket the palate. Thick and camphor-heavy tannins add extra intensity to the potent fruit, before a powdery finish. The opposite of shy, even four years along, this would suit (needs) big grilled meats.Tasted: 22 March 2017Tasted by: Prices:BC | $20.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
