This the flagship expression of Montes’ Bordeaux-inspired winemaking from Chile’s renowned Apalta terroir, crafted with Cabernet Sauvignon at its core and supported by classic blending varieties for added depth, structure and complexity. Deep and commanding in style, it opens with layers of cassis, blackberry, black plum and dark cherry, followed by notes of cedar, graphite, tobacco, cocoa, sweet spice and subtle vanilla from polished oak maturation. The palate is full-bodied yet refined, showing concentrated dark fruit, firm but beautifully integrated tannins, fresh balancing acidity and a long, structured finish that speaks to both immediate luxury and strong cellaring potential. Elegant, powerful and highly collectible, this is an excellent pairing with grilled ribeye, lamb rack, beef tenderloin, slow-braised short ribs, roast duck, truffle mushroom dishes and aged hard cheeses. A benchmark Chilean icon wine for collectors and lovers of refined, age-worthy Cabernet blends.
