칠레산 와인으로 2005년 한국에서 제일 많이 팔린 와인 20개중 3위를 한 와인. 1,2위가 Cabernet이 아닌걸 감안했을때 2005년 한국에서 제일 잘 팔렸던 Cabernet 계열 와인임. 미국에서는 18불 정도로 저가 와인에 속하지만 한국에서는 높은 주세로 주류 전문점에서 3만2천원~3만4천원 선에 구입할 수 있으며, 와인바에서는 대략 5만원~6만원에 판매되고 있음.
MONTES ALPHA Cabernet Sauvignon
Aged for 12 months in French oak. Intense ruby in color with red fruits evocations of blackcurrant, chocolate and cigar box, in balance with well integrated oak. Of great complexity in the mouth, in mid palate is full bodied and balanced with a lasting persistence and a remarkable finish. Although a superb wine as it is, it may also be considered as a great wine for cellaring. Our first (1987) version was selected among the best ten year old red wines (18th) in the world and our 1990 version was ranked 10th in the world, by WINE magazine (UK).
