92 points in James Suckling - "Blackberries and dark cherries with hints of flowers, such as violets and lavender. Medium body, firm and fine, chewy tannins and a fruity yet savory finish. Some spice and cedar undertones. Touch of cabernet in here. Drink now."

Product details
Montes Alpha Carmenere
The grapes come from our El Arcángel Marchigüe estate, located at the western end of Colchagua valley, where, 18 kilometers from the Pacific Ocean, the relatively cool climate allows this late-ripening variety to mature slowly and smoothly and reach full ripeness. Clay soils give strength and power to the wine. After fermentation, the wine is moved to French oak barrels where it is aged for 12 months.
