2017 Montes Alpha Purple Angel Colchagua Valley
Impressive deep purplish-red in color. The nose presents its habitual elegance with outstanding aromas of ripe red and black berries over a backdrop of sweet spices. Dark chocolate and mocha notes from aging in French oak combine very well with the variety’s characteristic fruity aromas, resulting in a wine with tremendous aromatic complexity that continues to open with layer after layer of new and delicious sensations. The palate is well structured with soft, ample tannins. Acidity from the Petit Verdot lends juiciness and central nerve, qualities that predict excellent evolution and exceptional aging potential. The remarkable finish is elegant and very much in accordance with the nose. This is clearly an ideal wine to enjoy now—or in years to come.
Highly recommended with red meats, lamb chops with rosemary, pork ribs, and cannelloni.
Blend: 92% Carmenère, 8% Petit Verdot.
List Price: $103.50
