Critical Acclaim
JS96 – James Suckling
Beautiful richness and intensity on the nose with sliced plums, chocolate and some meat and earth. This is full-bodied with loads of fruit and ripe tannins. Smoky and rich. Flavorful finish. Still a baby. Please give this three or four years to come together. Drink after 2022.
WS94 – Wine Spectator
Powerful and well-structured, with cedar and leafy notes to the concentrated red fruit and spice flavors. Dried green herbal accents show midpalate, leading to a mineral-infused finish that lingers with a dollop of anise. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Merlot. Drink now through 2026.
V93 – Vinous
From Apalta, Colchagua, Montes Alpha is 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Merlot and Petit Verdot. Time in barrel enhances the flavors of black currant, cherry and mint. A complex wine held together by firm, polished tannins that compress it like a well-tailored corset, so that the fruit reverberates in the mouth.
