Viña Montes Syrah Colchagua Valley Alpha Apalta Vineyard(2004)

From our "La Finca" Estate, in the Apalta Valley, The scarcest of our ALPHA line, it shows how promising the Apalta Valley slopes are. Yield is very low, only 6 tons per hectare. It has been aged in French oak for one year and had only one soft filtering. Aurelio has added 7% of Cabernet Sauvignon and a 3% of Viognier to the final blend.
Of intense ruby red color, it has a great aroma with floral, tobacco and leathery notes. Strong and full bodied to the palate, with soft and mature tannins. A very long, elegant and satisfying after taste. A superb Syrah.

I actually found this to be flat and little too earthy. Note the strong notes or body that people have described.

Vivid, ruby purple. Spicy, aromatic character. Ripe, opulent, dark cherry fruit. Smooth, supple tannins. Richness and balance. Lovely. Drink up to 2010.
