The 2008 Napa Angel Cabernet is delightfully complex, delivering layers of asian spice, dark fruit and cassis in the bouquet. Expansive and exuberant on the palate, this wine wraps its core of juicy cassis and blackberry with graphite, anise, savory herbs, and hints of bramble. This is a serious wine disguised as a crown pleaser. Enjoy for 4-6 years.

Montes Winery

Having established a solid reputation as a top quality wine producer in the two best South American countries for wine growing, the next step for Montes had to be the capital and cathedral of Cabernet Sauvignon in the New World’s Northern Hemisphere. That is unquestionably Napa Valley. Learning and comparing what they create with the icons of California is a huge challenge. It is this learning process and comparison that, they hope, will take Montes to the next level.
