Montes Taita 2017 750ml

Montes Taita 2017 is a Cabernet Sauvignon led red from Marchigüe in the Colchagua Valley, Chile. The blend is 85% Cabernet Sauvignon with 15% winemaker's choice, bottled at 15% alcohol. Every component was aged for 24 months in first-use French oak barrels, a commitment that shows in the depth and polish of the wine.

The colour is very deep red. The nose is highly perfumed, with ample aromas of ripe red and black berries, jam and sweet spices. The oak is well integrated, lending toffee and nutmeg with a balanced touch of toast, while notes of yogurt reinforce the sweet spice. On the palate it is very well structured, with firm, nicely incorporated tannins that give long lingering breadth and support.

This is a bottle for collectors and Cabernet devotees marking a milestone dinner. Decant before serving and pair with grilled beef, roast lamb or aged hard cheese. Ralph's imports Montes directly and delivers across Metro Manila.
