The 2022 Montes Alpha Special Cuvée Cabernet Sauvignon offers bold aromatics of ripe blackberries, sweet tobacco, tapenade, and a touch of graphite. On the palate, it’s rich and structured, with juicy fruit, fine dusty tannins, and a persistent, savoury finish. A small portion of Syrah and Carmenère adds depth and spice to the blend. This is a generous, polished red that drinks beautifully now but will reward short-term cellaring.
