title: Montes 2009 Alpha Carmenère (Colchagua Valley)
description: Hickory smoked, campfire aromas lead off the nose, which has dense berry and curt minerality at the core. The palate is chewy, meaty and rich, with toasty, woody, spicy flavors of dark fruits and chocolate. Almost blackened at points, but undeniably from good grapes.
variety: Carmenère
designation: Alpha
