I found this wine to be a very good surprise from Chile. I also found this Syrah very focused; the wine had a strong hint of smoked gouda. The wine was a very positive experience.

We have tried this wine several times with consistent results: it is big, powerful, and — until it has aired for several hours — very tight. On a visit to Viña Montes La Finca de Apalta, the guide went so far as to recommended carefully cutting the top of the foil, uncorking the bottle, then placing the foil back on top with two holes. He recommended leaving the Syrah to air for a full day.

This is great wine, although it has been a while since I've last tried it. Definately looking forward to drinking this (others from Montes Alpha) in the future!

Rich complex elegant nose. Some red fruit, peppermint on nose. Smooth, silky, mouth watering flavor. Smooth tannins. Good finish. Good value.
