Montes Alpha Merlot

TASTING NOTE
With an impressive carmine-red color, the wine shows aromas principally of ripe fruit, such as red and black plum, blackberry, and strawberry. There are also interesting sweet spice and tobacco notes, and a subtle hint of fresh mint. The French oak barrel aging adds elegance and balance, as well as notes of dulce de leche, vanilla, and a touch of cedar. The palate is balanced and smooth, with vibrant acidity that promises a long life in the bottle.
