Montes Classic Series Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Valle del Colchagua, Valle del Rapel, Region del Valle Central, ChileThis plumy, approachable medium-bodied cabernet is drinking well now (especially with that grilled beef) but will continue to hold and improve over the next 2-4 years. And at this price, you can afford to lay a couple down for a couple of years. Blending 85/15 cabernet sauvignon/merlot here yields deep cassis, cedar spice, blackberry bush and dark flowers on the nose, before dense and dusky-cloaked tannins around juicy black fruit, tobacco, vanilla and spice. A lick of mint on the zesty finish.Tasted: 27 March 2015Tasted by: Prices:
