Montes Limited Selection Cabernet Sauvignon Carmenere
From our "La Finca" Estate in the Apalta Valley (Santa Cruz D.O., a sub-denomination of Colchagua Valley). Aurelio evaluated releasing a full Carménère wine, as we have pure Carménère vines, but after many combinations decided that this blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Carménère (specified as such in the main label) brought forward the best of both varieties.
Decanting is recommended for at least 30 minutes. It can be cellared for four years or enjoyed now. D.O. Colchagua Valley.

Tasting notes
It is strong in color, beautiful and deep ruby red. Butterscotch and the subtle spiciness makes it appealing, with a strong personal character. The well integrated vanilla flavors comes from the oak aging, and adds complexity and elegance. This is a medium to full bodied wine but yet soft and friendly in the palate due to the sweet and firm tannins of the Carménère component.
