Montes Alpha Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 has an outstanding balance of richness and refinement. Apalta delivers ripe, concentrated fruit, while Montes’ meticulous oak work shapes the wine into something polished and harmonious. The small additions of Merlot or Cabernet Franc add softness and aromatic lift, giving the wine complexity without weight. The result is a Cabernet with clarity, character and composure. An excellent ambassador of Chile’s modern red-wine craftsmanship.
Tasting Notes
Deep garnet with vibrant edges. Aromas of blackberry, cassis, blueberry and dried herbs emerge first, followed by cocoa, cedar and a hint of graphite. The palate is concentrated yet smooth — dark berries, chocolate shavings, warm spice and a touch of toasted oak unfold across firm but polished tannins. The finish is long and composed, with lingering cassis and subtle savoury notes that add depth.
Food Pairing
This Cabernet pairs naturally with dishes that offer richness and structure. It enhances grilled ribeye, slow-roasted lamb, hearty beef dishes or wild mushroom ragù, where its dark fruit and layered spice elevate every flavour. It’s equally compelling alongside charred vegetables, aged cheeses or rosemary-infused roasts, making it a versatile choice for elegant dinners and relaxed nights alike.
