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.
