Natalie's Score: 92/100

From the Colchagua Valley, Montes Alpha 2020 Syrah is a creamy, smooth, medium-plus-bodied Syrah and exceptional value at $21. Savoury with ripe blackberry, deli meats, dried wild herbs, spicy on the palate with a lingering cocoa powder and textured finish. Tannins are creamy. Drink or hold, but so good now.

Syrah food pairings: beef, game, BBQ sauced spareribs, hamburgers.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
