Tasting - Montes Alpha Syrah

Date of Tasting: January 24, 2013

Country: Chile

Year: 2009

Price: $7.95

Shop 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: The first thing I noticed with this wine was the dark red-purple hue it had. I experienced a flavor of cherries as well as hint of tobacco. I was not able to really pick up on the blackberry flavor as it tasted more like cherries to me. I somewhat enjoyed this wine, but it was not one of my favorites.

With or Without Food: Without food
