MONTES ALPHA MALBEC

Montes Alpha Malbec

Aromas of fresh red fruits such as strawberries and tart cherries predominate on the nose with a light touch of red plums. Floral notes underscore its fresh character with fragrances of wildflowers and violets. Sweet spices such as anise appear over a back of light aromas of vanilla and jam. The sweet sensation is echoed on the palate with surprisingly smooth, round tannins that lend structure and tremendous volume. Very nicely balanced natural acidity makes this a very juicy, elegant Malbec with a remarkable finish that lingers long on the palate.
