VIÑA MONTES
Alpha M Santa Cruz 2005

 

Very sleek and refined, but with loads in reserve, this shows layers of mocha, espresso, bittersweet coffee, mineral and currant paste all framed by dense but supersupple tannins. Beautifully rendered. The best vintage yet of this winery's flagship wine. Best from 2009 through 2015. 4,500 cases made. –JM
