Montgras 2021 Intriga Cabernet Sauvignon 750ml

Sweet currants, berries and a touch of chiles, chocolate and mineral on the nose. Juicy and plump on the palate with a medium to full body and very fine-grained tannins. Long and delicious. Sustainable. Drink or hold.

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Intriga is also 7% Cabernet Franc and 8% Petit Verdot. From Linderos, Maipo, it spent 16 months in barrels and foudres. Garnet red in hue. The nose offers clear, intense blackcurrant and blackberry notes with hints of black pepper and licorice. Smooth with finely grained, reactive tannins, this is a compact red with an alluring mouthfeel.
