Montes Alpha Syrah 2005
The up front nose is fruity, black cherries, hints of strawberries, and all well combined with a smoky spiciness, that adds elegance and complexity. The 7% of Cabernet Sauvignon is adding structure and hints of cassis and berries while the 3% of Viognier adds a nice and delicate floral touch. The oak is well assembled and combined with this strong, soft, velvety wine. Wine Spectator This is ripe and concentrated, yet polished and refined, with layers of dark cherry, blackberry and briar caressed by suave toast, vanilla and mineral notes. Long and fleshy through the finish, which shows solid grip. Contains 7 percent Cabernet Sauvignon and 3 percent Viognier. Drink now through 2009. 20,000 cases made. Score: 92. July 2007.Wine Advocate The 2005 Alpha Syrah delivers a stylish bouquet of earth, leather, meat, blueberry, and blackberry liqueur. This is followed by a medium to full-bodied Syrah with excellent depth and concentration. It should evolve for 2-3 years and drink well through 2017. Score: 89. —Jay Miller, June 2007.
