Tasting - Montes Alpha Syrah


Name: Montes Alpha Apalta Vineyard D.O. Colchagua Valley Syrah
Variety: 90% Syrah, 7% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Viognier
Region: Apalta
Country: Chile
Year: 2009
Price: $7.95

Winery Review: Blackberry and cola aromas are cool and collected. The palate has weight and texture to accompany berry, mint, herb and peppery flavors. Turns more herbal and roasted as it unwinds. Pepper and spice lead the finish.

My Review: An earthy or leathery tasting red (perhaps smokey?).

                                                                I tasted this wine on its own, without food.
