About The Wine

Colchagua Valley sits in the warmest part of Chile's Rapel Valley, a landscape of sun-baked slopes and cool Pacific breezes that turn Cabernet Sauvignon into something dense, structured, and alive. The valley produces some of South America's most serious Cabernets — wines that hold their own against Napa fruit at a fraction of the cost.

Montes has spent three decades proving that Chilean wine can compete at the highest level. The winery's Alpha line was built to show what the country's best vineyards can deliver when handled with precision: hand-harvested fruit, French oak aging, and old-school winemaking discipline applied to New World power.

The 2022 vintage delivered textbook Colchagua conditions — warm days, cool nights, and a long hang time that packed the fruit with concentration while holding onto freshness. The result is a Cabernet that tastes like it should cost twice what you're paying.

This wine with 94-point bones. Dark fruit, structure, and enough weight to stand up to a ribeye — the kind of bottle that makes you question why you've been spending on Napa Cab when Colchagua delivers this much wine for this little money. Pull the cork tonight or let it sit for five years; either way, it drinks well above its weight.

CRITIC REVIEWS

What the Critics Said

An excellent cabernet sauvignon that shows typical dark olives, paprika, tobacco leaves, ash and some blackcurrants. Very tight and fine-grained on the palate, with dusty tannins and a long, layered finish. Powerful and polished. Drink now or hold. ~94 James Suckling

This fresh, pure red's aromas of freesia and thyme lead to a polished core of cherry and strawberry that gains in richness and intensity as it lingers onto the finish, picking up stony hints around fine tannins, with a late echo of coffee bean. Drink now through 2030. 90,000 cases made, 5,000 cases imported. ~ 90 Wine Spectator

The nose of this Cabernet Sauvignon reveals an attractive mix of cranberry and bell pepper aromas. The palate is juicy, featuring ripe berries, baking spices and hints of bell pepper, with a medium finish. ~ 90 Wine Enthusiast

~90 Tim Atkin, Master of Wine
