Natalie's Score: 92/100

A full-bodied, Chilean Pinot Noir fragrant with aromas of ripe raspberry, cherry and smoky on the nose. Dry and juicy with ripe red berry, cherry, sweet spice and coffee and smoky vanilla flavours on the palate. Good acidity for food and tannins are silky. So delicious and so enjoyable now.

Pinot Noir food pairings: planked salmon, roast chicken, pork tenderloin, pizza, beef.

Remarkable Roast Chicken Wine

Montes Alpha 2016 is a great value Pinot Noir under $20. Medium-plus-bodied, juicy and spicy with ripe strawberry, raspberry, sour cherry, earthy underbrush and cake spice flavours on the palate. Tannins are velvet. Pair with a mushroom risotto. - Community Wine Reviews
