Montes Limited Selection Cabernet Sauvignon/Carmenère 2006

Natalie's Review

Montes Limited Selection Cabernet Sauvignon/Carmenère 2006, Apalta Vineyard, Colchagua Valley, Chile: Vintages Wine Panel: Montes was honored by the Chilean Wineries Association as the inaugural recipient their Winery of the Year Award in 2006 and it was also one of the International Winery of the Year winners selected by Wine & Spirits magazine in 2007. This blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Carmenère is sourced from the winery’s ‘La Finca’ estate in the Apalta Valley, a sub-appellation of the Colchagua Valley. A fabulous value, this wine shows the best of both varieties with its blueberry, plum, blackberry and spice flavors. It’s dry and mouth-filling with plush fruit flavor and a lengthy finish. My note: A beautiful wine with ripe red fruit notes. Fantastic value!  16071  14%  XD  750 mL  $14.95  Score: 90/100. March 15, 2008 Best Value Red Wine.  Full Review
