2010 Montes Alpha, Merlot, Apalta Vineyard, Colchagua Valley

( £12.99, 14.5%, Majestic )

Montes is a winery that has mastered the art of delivering flavour and some complexity at affordable prices, as typified by this ripe, deeply-coloured Merlot from the Colchagua Valley. This has some classic Chilean mint, with attractive plum and black cherry flavours, mid-weight tannins and sweet, assertive oak.
