Montes Classic Selection Cabernet Sauvignon
The Montes Classic Selection Cabernet Sauvignon is a medium-bodied wine with intense ruby-red color, incredibly smooth tannins, and well-balanced acidity. It is composed of 85% Cabernet-Sauvignon and 15% Merlot and carries ripe red and black fruit flavors. On the nose, aromas of strawberry, plum, nutmeg, and black pepper are dominant due to the wine’s aging time in French oak barrels.
