Description
The Montes Limited Selection Cabernet Sauvignon – Carmenère 2022 is a premier example of Chile’s ability to craft bold, structured red blends with exceptional value. Sourced from the granite-rich soils of the Apalta and Marchigüe estates in the Colchagua Valley, this wine benefits from a “fresher” 2022 growing season that allowed for a slow ripening process and heightened aromatic concentration. This vintage presents a deep carmine-red color with violet hues. On the nose, it is remarkably fruity, bursting with aromas of blackberries, ripe plums, and candied cherries, layered with notes of chocolate, coffee, and a touch of vanilla from eight months of aging in French oak. The palate is plush and medium-to-full-bodied, featuring velvety tannins and a juicy core of blueberry and red currant flavors. A hint of black pepper and Mediterranean herbs adds a classic Chilean complexity to the long, pleasing finish.
