Tasting- Montes Alpha Syrah


Name: Montes Alpha Syrah
Variety: Syrah or Shiraz (90% Syrah, 7% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Viognier)
Region: Apalata
Country: Chile
Year: 2009
Price: $7.95
Vintage Cellar Review: Blackberry and cola aromas are cool and collected. The palate has weight and texture to accompany berry, mint, herb and peppery flavors. Turns more herbal and roasted as it unwinds. Pepper and spice lead the finish.
My Review: This wine was spicy and tart. It reminded me of shiraz, which I later learned is the same thing as syrah. I did not like it.
Food: Not tasted with food
