Montes Classic Series Cabernet Sauvignon comes from our Apalta and El Arcangel del Marchigue vineyards in the Colchagua Valley. A bright violet-red colour, it has aromas of strawberries, plums and figs, along with notes of sweet spices including nutmeg and black pepper. A lively red color is the first clue that this wine is very fresh. Its aromatic potency is very well harmonized with its complexity. There's a predominance of red berries, jam, blackcurrant liqueur (creme de cassis), and a juicy sensation of crushed strawberries. Eight months in contact with French oak lend it a certain degree of seriousness, along with a bit of vanilla, smoke, cigar box, and sweet spices. Good balance on the palate with properly rounded tannins enable this Cabernet Sauvignon to linger long on the palate. Highly recommended with braised beef with french fries, steak and eggs, paella, cannelloni, lasagna or firm cow's milk cheeses .
