Montes Malbec is a Chilean red wine blending 95% Malbec with 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, from the 2021 vintage.
Montes was founded in 1988 by Aurelio Montes Sr., Douglas Murray, Alfredo Vidaurre and Pedro Grand. The Malbec draws fruit from the Apalta and Marchigüe estates in Colchagua Valley, each with granitic soils at different stages of decomposition. Grapes are hand-harvested, and roughly 50% of the wine is aged for 12 months in first-, second- and third-use French oak barrels.
Ripe blackberry and plum dominate the nose, followed by cassis and black pepper, with subtler vanilla, fresh herbs, damp earth and struck-match minerality. The palate is juicy and fruit-forward, with sour cherry and blue fruit, herbs and gentle spice, firm but silky tannins, and a thread of olive and leather. The finish is long and sappy, with dark fruit and fine-grained tannins.
Tasting Notes
Ripe blackberry and plum, followed by cassis and black pepper, with subtler vanilla, fresh herbs, damp earth and struck-match minerality.
Juicy and fruit-forward, with sour cherry and blue fruit, herbs and gentle spice; firm but silky tannins, with olive and leather toward the finish.
Long and sappy, with dark fruit and fine-grained tannins; a touch of fresh herbaceousness keeps the close vibrant.
