2004 Montes Alpha M, Santa Cruz (Chile)
Montes Alpha M is a Bordeaux blend (80% Cabernet with Merlot, Cabernet Franc & Petit Verdot). It's big, supple, with juicy dark plum flavors along with hints of vanilla. This 2004 had beautiful color and still tasted youthful. It's a great example of the best Chile has to offer and Wine Spectator rated it a 94. We received this as a gift, but from the internet it looks like the cost would be $75 - $90.
Grilled ribeye went well, along with some peas and baby vidalias sauteed in butter, and an artisan whole grain baguette.
