Montes 2009 Alpha Cabernet Sauvignon (Colchagua Valley)

Country: Chile / Colchagua Valley
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
Winery: Montes / Alpha

Earthy, warm and generously oaked, with berry aromas that bring leather and smoke. The palate is healthy and tight, with spiky tannins and herbal black fruit flavors. Grippy on the finish, with olive and spice. Very much a good-quality, typically styled Chilean Cabernet.
