Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

This wine makes you feel the elegancy directly on the nose with the pepper, ripefruit and tobacco notes that blends together to make this wine one of a kind. The roundness of the body plays with the concentration of this wine achieving balance and structure. Full-bodied wine with ripe and silky tannins and a deep and intense dark red color. It's Velvety in the mid palate, with nuances of perfectly integrated French oak featuring a very long and flavorful finish. A wine to be aged for at least 15 years or to be enjoyed now.

Ideal pairing with lamb, roasted game, duck, steak, and strong cheeses.

Professional Ratings

  • 94
    This is as soft and luscious as velvet, and it offers smooth, rich tannins that frame the oak-tinged blackberry, black currant, anise and dark chocolate flavors. Its richness comes with high alcohol, which gives it a slight warmth on the finish.
  • 92
    Supple and juicy, with high-toned blackberry at the core, offering charming spice and floral scents, ending with depth, traction and length.

Montes Winery Video

With the release of the first Montes Alpha wine back in 1988, Montes became one of the first premium wineries of Chile. Their premise, a clear belief that Chile had an untapped potential as a producer of quality wines, made them a benchmark for other wineries to follow. Its original four partners' total involvement and the continuous help of the angels that decorate their labels was key to their success. Two decades later, Montes is the fifth most important winery of Chile where Aurelio Montes continues leading the winemaking area with the same passion as the first day. Hard work and total focus on quality has led Montes to be one of the most successful and respected quality-driven wineries in Chile as they continue pioneering and breaking new grounds in wine.

One of the most prestigious wines of the world capable of great power and grace, Napa Valley Cabernet is a leading force in the world of fine, famous, collectible red wine. Today the Napa Valley and Cabernet Sauvignon are so intrinsically linked that it is difficult to discuss one without the other. But it wasn’t until the 1970s that this marriage came to light; sudden international recognition rained upon Napa with the victory of the Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars 1973 Cabernet Sauvignon in the 1976 Judgement of Paris.

Cabernet Sauvignon undoubtedly dominates Napa Valley today, covering half of the land under vine, commanding the highest prices per ton and earning the most critical acclaim. Cabernet Sauvignon’s structure, acidity, capacity to thrive in multiple environs and ability to express nuances of vintage make it perfect for Napa Valley where incredible soil and geographical diversity are found and the climate is perfect for grape growing. Within the Napa Valley lie many smaller sub-AVAs that express specific characteristics based on situation, slope and soil—as a perfect example, Rutherford’s famous dust or Stags Leap District's tart cherry flavors.
