Montes Alpha Series Cabernet Sauvignon 1997

One of the top Chilean Cabernets, aged for 12 months in French oak. Sourced from 100 year old vines. Intense ruby in color with red fruit evocations of blackcurrant, chocolate, and cigar box, in balance with well-integrated oak (French Alliers fine grained oak). Of great complexity in the mouth, in mid-palate is full bodied and balanced with a lasting persistence and a remarkable finish. Although a superb wine as it is, it may also be considered as a great wine for cellaring.
