Montes Alpha Cabernet Sauvignon 2014
Apalta Valley, Santa Cruz, Valle del Colchagua, Valle del Rapel, Region del Valle Central, ChileRubber, roasted meats, grilled onions and wood in this blocky, and dense cabernet sauvignon from Apalta Vineyard. Tannins are massive and gritty, finishing with a choking dryness. There's an iron scent, and bay leaf seasoning which is alluring, but the potency of the firm wood overrides all else. Requires richer red meats to counter.Tasted: 12 October 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $23.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
