Purple Angel 2005, our Carmenère from Colchagua Valley, has been selected as one of the “Twenty Exceptional South American Wines“ by the prestigious Forbes magazine. Also, Aurelio Montes is recognized as one of the quality pioneers, a real visionary winemaker who decided it was better to gain recognition through bottling something distinctive as our Carmenère. Forbes said: “Montes Purple Angel 2005 (Chile, $57)Carménère takes a new dimension," claims the label, and does it ever! From its confectionery vanilla icing, plum blossom and violet aroma to its silky, perfectly weighted palate feel and juicy flavors of ripe plum and blackberry, this is a genuine aristocrat. A flat-out steal."
