Montes Cabernet Sauvignon/Carmenere 2010 $14.95. This is a bottle that I’ve had in my “cellar” since last October. I purchased it because it was the first wine I saw that was a combination of Cab Sauv and Carmenere. As you probably known from my posts, Cab Sauv is my favourite varietal. I’ve only tried Carmenere once before, but enjoyed it. This Montes wine had a nice subtle oak smell blended with fruit. The taste was dry and fairly pleasant, however there was an acidic finish. I let this wine breath for about 30 minutes before dinner, but probably could use a good hour. JC87
