Jul 06, 2012- WA 91pts. - WS 90pts. - According to the Wine Advocate: The 2008 Alpha Syrah is purple/black in color with an alluring nose of smoke, game, mineral, underbrush, and blueberry. Medium- to full-bodied, succulent and chewy on the palate, this lengthy effort is likely to evolve for 1-2 years but can be approached now. According to the Wine Spectator: A ripe, up-front style, displaying lots of briar, anise, plum cake and fig flavors that push through the juicy, full-bodied finish. Very solid. Drink now.

Montes Alpha 2008 Syrah Apalta Vineyard
This is a juicy, full bodied Syrah that is almost black in color. The body is thick and chewy and expresses stewed fruit and smokey flavors with a hint of spice.
