Montes Outer Limits CGM 2021

This blend of 50% carignan, 30% grenache, and 20% mourvèdre comes from the granitic soils of Marchigüe, on the western side of the Colchagua Valley. It has very good concentration, ripe and succulent flavors, and a layer of sweet spices that seem to come from aging in barrels for a year (half the volume) atop fierce, intense tannins with a charming rusticity that’s typical, especially in carignan. This is for lamb. (Patricio Tapia,guiadescorchados.cl,2023)
