Amazing Syrah. So smooth, deep bodied and aromatic. Montes vineyards is one of my favorite vineyards in Chile and this one despite being their lowest grade Syrah does not disappoint. — 7 years ago
The final bottle of the case. This wine is now darker and smokier on the nose with less of the blue fruit and more of the stewed black fruits. The palate still has wonderful acidity but is far less lush. Flavors of wet earth mingle with darker stewed plum and blackberries and lead to a bit of a shorter finish that shows a touch more puckering acidity. — 8 years ago
Excellent Napa Cab from Montes. The 2008 summer was very hot, keeping yields low and providing concentrated berries at harvest. This is a big, full bodied wine delivering lots of ripe dark fruit, pepper, tobacco and some chocolate. Smooth and almost velvety in the mouth it has a long and pleasant finish. Decanted for 2 hours, this will last another 15 years or more.

Dry earthy, plum with a raspberry snap. A solid option that does a great service to Montes' reputation. — 10 years ago

Had saved this unfiltered gem. It has never been produced the same. If you can find it with bottle age, you will be rewarded. — 8 years ago

#tannat bem rico no paladar - amadeirado e bem encorpado - e no cheiro - de frutas vermelhas, especialmente morango. Também tem notas de cacau e é um excelente custo-benefício. — 10 years ago

Amazing wine for a reasonable price. In nose feels strong, what you validate in mouth. Plumb, crunberries and a long, balanced bouquet. — 7 years ago

Not sure why this is rated relatively low, as the 2014 vintage was exceptional (and ranked in the top 50 of Wine Spectator’s Best of 2016 list). Big aromas of cigar box and hard candy, mouth-watering tastes of strawberry jam, cedar and caramel... and most astonishingly, it retails for $15. Get some - now! — 8 years ago
