Montes Alpha Carmenere 2016

Valle del Colchagua, Valle del Rapel, Region del Valle Central, ChileFrom vineyards in the Colchagua Valley, this was aged in French oak for twelve months before bottling. If you're looking for a full-throttle carmenère, this combines liquid cassis and blackberry with no shortage of carmenère's inherent greenness in bell pepper and green peppercorn. Medium-full-bodied, with some grip to the tannins, this is surprisingly structured and meant for the dinner table. Varietally correct, well made, and reasonably priced (at least in some provinces).Tasted: 04 December 2019Tasted by: Geoffrey Moss MWPrices:
