Montes Purple Angel 2021 is a blend of 92% Carménère and 8% Petit Verdot, sourced from Montes` vineyards in Apalta and Marchigüe, both esteemed locations in the Colchagua Valley. The grapes are meticulously hand-harvested to ensure quality. Aromas include blackberries, ripe blueberries, and dried plums, complemented by notes of nutmeg, vanilla, and pastry. The palate reveals a structured profile with rich tannins and balanced acidity. Founded in 1987, Montes is renowned for pioneering the Chilean fine wine movement.

The 2021 Purple Angel consists of 92% Carménère and 8% Petit Verdot, sourced from the Apalta and Machigüe estates in roughly equal parts and aged for 18 months in 70% new oak. It presents a tarry, spice-driven bouquet that evolves into resinous, herbal aromas with aeration. The palate is strikingly ripe and has a voluptuous texture, concluding with a sweet, luscious finish infused with oak. While it`s undeniable that this is a truly massive wine, it remarkably maintains a sense of balance. - Matthew Luczy
Vinous
The 2020 Carménère Purple Angel contains an dash of Petit Verdot (8%), also from Apalta, Colchagua. It was aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, 70% of them new. Purple in hue. The sun-kissed nose delivers plum and blackberry jam notes over nuanced layers of ash and spice against a balsamic backdrop. Indulgent and broad in the mouth. The expansive, voluminous palate is full of plummy flavor with a juicy flow and a lasting finish of ripe, fruity aromas. The warm year dialed up the sweetness. - Joaquin Hidalgo
