This is ripe and concentrated yet polished and refined, with layers of dark cherry, blackberry and briar caressed by suave toast, vanilla and mineral notes. Long and fleshy through the finish, which shows solid grip. Contains 7 percent Cabernet Sauvignon and 3 percent Viognier. Drink now through 2009. 20,000 cases made. –JM

The 2005 Alpha Syrah delivers a stylish bouquet of earth, leather, meat, blueberry, and blackberry liqueur. This is followed by a medium to full-bodied Syrah with excellent depth and concentration. It should evolve for 2-3 years and drink well through 2017.
Over recent years, Montes has been one of the standard-bearers of quality wines from Chile under the leadership of Aurelio Montes. The lineup is top-notch from entry level to top-of-the-line.
