Montes Alpha


Montes Alpha
Syrah
2009
$7.95
Region: Apalta Valley
Chile

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.

Personal Review:  Because this wine was so smooth, it almost tasted like a blend of red and white together.  It was not dry or bitter at all, and berries and herbs were prevalent throughout.  I did not detect any pepper scent or flavor as the winery review suggests.
