About Professional Wine Ratings

A wine score is the quickest, simplest way for a wine critic to communicate their opinion about the quality of a wine. Professional wine rating scores from a wide range of critics, for example Robert Parker's Wine Advocate and Wine Spectator, are usually adjusted for the 100-point scale. A mean of these scores is presented for specific vintages of a wine, as well as across all vintages.

About The Wine

Classic cabernet nose with olives and red peppers. Sweet tobacco and milk chocolate with a meaty edge. Juicy and full-bodied but quite fit, with bright acidity and some densely packed tannins. Grippy but really well-honed with an extremely long finish. JS

Food Match

A good marriage of food and wine ideally provides more pleasure than enjoying either one separately. As each of us have different sensitivities to various flavours and preferences, the definition of 'perfect pairing' varies, and this makes up the fun part of food and wine pairing.

- Montes Alpha 'M' 1997
A beautiful marriage of refinement and concentration, this firm, polished red shows currant, tobacco and cedar flavors that are balanced and deep and linger on the finish. Eucalyptus and herb notes add interest and harmony to this elegant wine. WS
- Montes Alpha 'M' 2010
Beautifully concentrated, showing a floral undertone to the rich yet racy wild berry, cassis and damson plum skin fruit character that's tightly wound around fine tannins. The finish is long and compact. WS
- Montes Alpha 'M' 2012
A beautifully refined red with currant, spice and cedar character. Full body, fine tannins and a long and caressing finish. Aged 18 months in new French oak and one year in bottle before release. JS
- Montes Alpha 'M' 2015
This is a powerful and rich red with so much density and power yet there's an underlying freshness and energy. Hints of vanilla and walnuts. Full body, chewy tannins and a flavorful finish. JS
- Montes Alpha 'M' 2018
Black fruit, dried herbs, spices and earthy undertones. Hints of bark and cedar, too. Full body with firm tannins that are fleshy in texture and provide excellent structure. Layered with a fruity core. Savory and succulent finish. JS
- Montes Alpha 'M' 2020
Classic cabernet nose with olives and red peppers. Sweet tobacco and milk chocolate with a meaty edge. Juicy and full-bodied but quite fit, with bright acidity and some densely packed tannins. Grippy but really well-honed with an extremely long finish. JS
