Muse Cabernet Sauvignon
Colchagua Valley
Montes Muse is a return to Aurelio Montes Sr.’s roots in the Alto Maipo – where he learned to make wine and was first inspired by the potential for fine wine in Chile. From a unique hillside site on alluvial terraces along the Maipo River, this Cabernet is deeply expressive and complex, with a freshness and levity that is unique amongst Montes’ iconic wines.
Deep ruby-red in color, with very delicate aromas, where ripe red berries dominate, including strawberry, red plum, and sarsaparilla, as well as cassis liqueur and cherry syrup. From its time spent aging in oak, there are notes of tobacco, caramel, and mocha, all very well balanced with the fruity profile. The tannins are very smooth, in accordance with the purity of the aromas. The wine is vibrant and broad, but balanced at the same time, showing complexity and a very long finish.
- An homage to Aurelio Montes' 50th vintage and the women who have supported him
- A classic style from an alluvial hillside vineyard in the Alto Maipo
- Extremely limited production of only 6,000 bottles
- Large diurnal temperature swings preserve acidity and freshness
