About this product
The prestige Bordeaux blend from Montes's Finca de Apalta estate — Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot, Carmenère, and Petit Verdot from steep granite hillsides in the Apalta sub-zone, aged 18 months in new French oak. Among Chile's most structured and age-worthy reds: blackcurrant, dark plum, cedar, graphite, tobacco leaf, and dark chocolate with firm, polished tannins and a long mineral finish. Chile's most Bordeaux-like wine in character and aging potential.
