Montes 2008 Special Cuvée Limited Release Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon (Colchagua Valley)

Country: Chile / Special Cuvée Limited Release Reserva
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon Colchagua Valley
Winery: Montes /

Warm and mulchy at first; this is a muscular, dark wine despite the bargain price, and it’s tight, tannic and herbal but serious in weight, structure and depth. The palate shows creamy, oaky, herbal fruit in front of a full, grabby, tobacco-accented finish. Elevated size and structure is what brings it up a notch.
