The grapes for this expressive, grape-varietal Montes Alpha Special Cuvée Cabernet Sauvignon come from the Colchagua Valley growing region of the Marchigüe and Apalta vineyards. 

In the glass, this wine shimmers in a deep ruby red with violet highlights. The complex bouquet is determined by lush aromas of black ripe fruits - especially blackberry and black cherry - and notes of cream de cassis. The fruity aroma is accompanied by a hint of tobacco, nutmeg and red pepper. On the palate, this Chilean red wine is wonderfully strong, voluminous and has a very good structure. Woodworking gives this wine greater complexity and perfectly rounded tannins, and a very subtly sweet nuance. The finale comes with elegance and wonderful length.
