December, 2011 - The Montes Cabernet Sauvignon Alpha comes from the famous “La Finca de Apalta” Estate in the Apalta Valley, known for making chilies best reds. The 2008 has notes of black fruits, barnyard, loamy soil and some vanilla. The structure is a little flabby, but it should please the crowd and a nice cabernet without spending a fortune. Cabernet Sauvignon 88%, Merlot 12%. (Drink 2011-2013) - December, 2011 (JD)
