Montes Alpha 2018M Apalta

Montes Alpha M Apalta 2018 is a well-structured blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc, 5% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot. A complex nose packed with ripe red and black fruits, cherry syrup, figs, and blackberries. The influence of French oak barrels is reflected in the toasted notes, sweet spices, tobacco, and hint of wet earth; there is also some dairy-like toffee and caramel. On the palate, the wine is balanced, with extremely silky tannins, a well-harmonized acidity and a long, fruit forward, vibrant finish.
