Ever since Montes went the dry farming route with this wine they improved the depth of flavour immensely – dry farming in a nutshell just means they don’t irrigate, which means they are stressing the vines to make better, more concentrated fruit, and it really shows in the wine: lots of big, black fruits like blackberry and black cherry mix it up with mint and mocha leading to a spiced finished that over-delivers at this price point.
